<p>I have deployed minikube on MacOS using the instructions here <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/</a></p>

<p>The brew install was ok and the minikube status shows</p>

<pre><code>  $ minikube status
  host: Running
  kubelet: Running
  apiserver: Running
  kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.99.102
</code></pre>

<p>I am able to interact with the cluster using kubectl</p>

<pre><code>$kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.10 --port=8080
</code></pre>

<p>Viewing the pods is also ok</p>

<pre><code>$kubectl get pod
 NAME                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
 hello-minikube-856979d68c-glhsx   1/1     Running   0          18m
</code></pre>

<p>But when i try to launch the kubectl dashboard, i get 503 error</p>

<pre><code>$minikube dashboard
Temporary Error: unexpected response code: 503
Temporary Error: unexpected response code: 503
</code></pre>

<p>The Dashboard service seems to present</p>

<pre><code> $kubectl -n kube-system get svc -o wide
NAME                   TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                  AGE     SELECTOR
kube-dns               ClusterIP   10.96.0.10       &lt;none&gt;        53/UDP,53/TCP,9153/TCP   3h19m   k8s-app=kube-dns
kubernetes-dashboard   ClusterIP   10.109.210.119   &lt;none&gt;        80/TCP                   119m    app=kubernetes-dashboard
</code></pre>

<p>below is the kubectl version info</p>

<pre><code> $kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"15", GitVersion:"v1.15.2", GitCommit:"f6278300bebbb750328ac16ee6dd3aa7d3549568", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-08-05T16:57:42Z", GoVersion:"go1.12.7", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}

</code></pre>

<p>Any pointers on what is missing ?  How to get the dashboard working</p>

<p>Thanks<br>
Praveen</p>

<p>Check <code>kubectl cluster-info</code>, you can find more <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/access-cluster/#discovering-builtin-services" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></p>

<pre><code>kubectl -n kube-system port-forward svc/kubernetes-dashboard 8080:80
</code></pre>

<p>Your dashboard should be accessible on <code>http://localhost:8080</code>, keep in mind that the dashboard is deprecated so you can check <a href="https://github.com/vmware/octant" rel="nofollow noreferrer">octant</a>.</p>
