How to access the Kubeflow dashboard

Once you have deployed Kubeflow, it is time to access the Kubeflow dashboard.

Contents:

1. Get authentication credentials
2. Find the IP address of the Kubeflow dashboard
3. Access the dashboard

Get authentication credentials

To display your access credentials, run the following commands:

juju config dex-auth static-username
juju config dex-auth static-password

Empty values here indicate that static username/password authentication is disabled. If you wish to set these values, add the relevant string to the end of the command, e.g.

juju config dex-auth static-username=admin
juju config dex-auth static-password=AxWiJjk2hu4fFga7

Find the IP address of the Kubeflow dashboard

To find the IP address of the Kubeflow dashboard for your deployment run:

kubectl get services -n kubeflow

where kubeflow is the name you gave to your Juju model, and hence the namespace of your Kubeflow deployment.

Access the dashboard

For local Kubeflow deployments, such as in a workstation, you can simply access the link found in the previous step, appending nip.io, for example: http://10.64.140.43.nip.io.

However, for remote deployments, or running on a virtual machine, creating a SOCKS proxy is required to access the dashboard. This can be done as follows:

1. Logout from the current session with the exit command

2. Re-establish connection to the machine using ssh with SOCKS proxy enabled through the -D 9999 parameter. As in the example below:

   ssh -D 9999 ubuntu@<machine_public_ip>
   

3. On your computer, go to Settings > Network > Network Proxy, and enable SOCKS proxy pointing to: 127.0.0.1:9999

4. On a new browser window, access the link given in the previous step, appended by .nip.io, for example: http://10.64.140.43.nip.io
