SkyCluster Dashboard

The SkyCluster dashboard is a web-based user interface that allows you to manage and monitor your SkyCluster deployments. Please refer to the project github repository for issues and updates related to the dashboard. To install the dashboard, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

If you use kind to run your Kubernetes cluster, make sure you have a load balancer such as Kind LoadBalancer configured. This is necessary for the SkyCluster dashboard to be accessible via a LoadBalancer service.

Installation

The SkyCluster dashboard is automatically deployed with the SkyCluster operator. If you have already installed the operator, you can skip the installation steps below. Check the status of dashboard deployment by running the following command and ensure the same namespace is used as the operator:

# Check the status of the dashboard deployment
kubectl get deployment skycluster-dashboard -n skycluster-system
# NAME                   READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
# skycluster-dashboard   1/1     1            1           43h

# Check the status of the dashboard service
kubectl get svc skycluster-dashboard -n skycluster-system
# NAME                   TYPE           CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE
# skycluster-dashboard   LoadBalancer   10.0.58.65   172.18.0.3    80:30423/TCP   43h

Please note the EXTERNAL-IP of the service, as you will need it to access the dashboard. If the EXTERNAL-IP is still pending, it means the LoadBalancer is not yet ready. Check the status of the LoadBalancer installation. If you are using kind, ensure that you have set up the Kind LoadBalancer installation.

Manual Installation

To manually install the SkyCluster dashboard, apply the following configuration to your Kubernetes cluster. This configuration creates a deployment and a service for the dashboard:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: skycluster-dashboard
  namespace: skycluster-system
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: skycluster-dashboard
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: skycluster-dashboard
    spec:
      serviceAccountName: skycluster-sva
      containers:
      - name: skycluster-dashboard
        image: etesami/skycluster-dashboard:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8090
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: skycluster-dashboard
  namespace: skycluster-system
spec:
  selector:
    app: skycluster-dashboard
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 80
    targetPort: 8090
  type: LoadBalancer

Apply the above configuration to your Kubernetes cluster using kubectl and once the dashboard is running, you can access it via the LoadBalancer IP address.

kubectl apply -f skycluster-dashboard.yaml
kubectl get svc skycluster-dashboard -n skycluster-system
