Pre-requisite:

1. You should have a machine with minimum 8 GB of RAM (10 GB recommended)

   2. 2 GB for node1
   3. 2 GB for node 2
   4. 2 GB for virtual box and vagrant
   5. 2 GB for your machine
2. In my case I am running windows as host machine, You might be linux machine on which Vagrant should be up and running.

1. Download vagrant file from here and put it in a direcotry like Kubernates
2. Go to command line and “cd Kubernates”
3. Run the command “vagrant up” and wait until it gets completed
4. You should have all 3 machines up and running. Just to confirm run command “vagrant global-status”. It should show all 3 machines are running. The output might be something like:-

id       name        provider   state   directory

——————————————————————————

5d7b60e  k8s-master  virtualbox running C:/My-Kube-Machine/Kubernates

02cb68a  k8s-slave-1 virtualbox running C:/My-Kube-Machine/Kubernates

21ce8d2  k8s-slave-2 virtualbox running C:/My-Kube-Machine/Kubernates

5. Run command “vagrant ssh k8s-master”
6. Verify if the two command works without any error

Command1: kubectl get nodes

Command 2: kubectl get pods

If both commands are giving proper response like in below picture. You are good to go.

1. SSH into master node through vagrant ssh k8s-master
2. Install kubernates-dashboard. To install run the below command:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml

3. Now run the command “kubectl create serviceaccount dashboard -n default”

4. kubectl create clusterrolebinding dashboard-admin -n default --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:dashboard

5. To get the credentials in order to login to you kubernates dashboard. Run the command:-

   
   kubectl get secret $(kubectl get serviceaccount dashboard -o jsonpath="{.secrets[0].name}") -o jsonpath="{.data.token}" | base64 --decode 

6. Go to another window and ssh into master node and run the command

   kubectl proxy --address 192.168.33.60 --port=9999 --accept-hosts='^*$'

7. Now browse http://192.168.33.60:9999. This url is working now but its not showing dashboard yet.
8. To see the dashboard open the link

http://192.168.33.60:9999/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#!/login

9. Enter the token from first window and use it for login and login it from there.

    kubectl create clusterrolebinding kubernetes-dashboard --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:kubernetes-dashboard
