kubernetes dashboard will not load
Have you considered using the minikube dashboard? You can reach it by:
minikube dashboard
Also you will get json on http://127.0.0.1:8001/ui because it is deprecated, so you have to use full proxy URL as it states in the dashboard github page.
If you still want to use this 'external' dashboard for some future not minikube related projects or there is some other reason I don't know about you can reach it by:
kubectl proxy
and then: http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/
- note that in the documentation it is
https
which is not correct in this case (might be documentation error or it might be clarified in the documentation part which I suggest you read if you need further information on web UI).
Hope this helps.
