how to access local kubernetes minikube dashboard remotely

I was able to get running with something as simple as:

kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' --disable-filter=true

@Jeff provided the perfect answer, put more hints for newbies.

1. Start a proxy using @Jeff's script, as default it will open a proxy on '0.0.0.0:8001'.

   kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' --disable-filter=true

2. Visit the dashboard via the link below:

   curl http://your_api_server_ip:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/

More details please refer to the officially doc.

The ssh way

Assuming that you have ssh on your ubuntu box.

First run kubectl proxy & to expose the dashboard on http://localhost:8001

Then expose the dashboard using ssh's port forwarding, executing:

ssh -R 30000:127.0.0.1:8001 $USER@192.168.0.20

Now you should access the dashboard from your macbook in your LAN pointing the browser to http://192.168.0.20:30000

To expose it from outside, just expose the port 30000 using no-ip.com, maybe change it to some standard port, like 80.

Note that isn't the simplest solution but in some places would work without having superuser rights ;) You can automate the login after restarts of the ubuntu box using a init script and setting public key for connection.
