### [Juju Dashboard for Kubernetes](https://charmhub.io/juju-dashboard-k8s#p-25783-juju-dashboard-for-kubernetes)

Juju Dashboard displays your controllers and models, allowing you to see the status of your deployments, manage access, run actions and configure applications. The dashboard can be used with your local Juju environments and can also be found as a part of [JAAS](https://jaas.ai/).

#### Deploy

Juju Dashboard can be deployed in your controller model using either the [VM charm](https://charmhub.io/juju-dashboard) or [Kubernetes charm](https://charmhub.io/juju-dashboard-k8s) (pre Juju 3.0 controllers included Juju Dashboard automatically).

To deploy the dashboard, first switch to the controller model:

```
juju switch controller
```

Next deploy the charm:

```
juju deploy juju-dashboard-k8s dashboard
```

Then integrate the controller and the dashboard:

```
juju integrate dashboard controller
```

Now you can access the dashboard by running:

```
juju dashboard
```

This command will open a connection to the dashboard output the dashboard address and credentials.

For further details see the docs on [managing the dashboard](https://juju.is/docs/olm/manage-the-juju-dashboard).

#### Deploy with TLS

This guide will show the process for deploying Juju Dashboard with a TLS certificate. For demonstration purposes we’ll use self signed certificates. For more information on using certificates in Juju see the [docs](https://charmhub.io/topics/security-with-x-509-certificates).

To follow this guide you’ll need a Juju controller bootstrapped in a Microk8s environment.

To deploy Juju Dashboard with a TLS certificate we’ll make use of the Kubernetes ingress API. First of all you’ll need to enable the ingress addon:

```
sudo microk8s enable ingress
```

In this scenario the dashboard will need to be deployed in a model that is not the controller model (See [this issue](https://github.com/canonical/nginx-ingress-integrator-operator/issues/3)). However the dashboard requires a relation to the controller, so we need to offer the controller interface so we can make a cross model integration.

```
juju switch controller
juju offer controller:dashboard
```

Now create a model for the dashboard:

```
juju add-model juju-dashboard
```

Inside that model deploy nginx-ingress-integrator. This application will provide a bridge between the Kubernetes ingress and Juju Dashboard as well as terminate the TLS certificate.

```
juju deploy nginx-ingress-integrator dashboard-ingress --config service-hostname="dashboard.localhost" service-port=80
juju trust dashboard-ingress --scope cluster
```

Now deploy the self signed certificates charm and integrate it with the ingress app:

```
juju deploy self-signed-certificates --channel 1/stable dashboard-cert
juju integrate dashboard-ingress:certificates dashboard-cert:certificates
```

Deploy the dashboard:

```
juju deploy juju-dashboard-k8s dashboard
```

Next, get the name of the controller offer and integrate with the dashboard:

```
juju find-offers # The offer will be something like "admin/controller.controller"
juju integrate admin/controller.controller dashboard
```

Integrate the dashboard with the ingress app:

```
juju integrate dashboard dashboard-ingress
```

Check `juju status` and wait for everything to be ready, then you should be able to view the dashboard by visiting:

<https://dashboard.localhost>
