I am completely new to Kubernetes, so go easy on me.

I am running kubectl proxy but am only seeing the JSON output. Based on this discussion I attempted to set the memory limits by running:

kubectl edit deployment kubernetes-dashboard --namespace kube-system

I then changed the container memory limit:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  ...
spec:
  ...
  template:
    metadata:
    ...
  spec:
    containers:
    - image: k8s.gcr.io/kubernetes-dashboard-amd64:v1.8.1
      imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
      livenessProbe:
        ...
      name: kubernetes-dashboard
      ports:
      - containerPort: 9090
        protocol: TCP 
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 1Gi

I still only get the JSON served when I save that and visit http://127.0.0.1:8001/ui

Running kubectl logs --namespace kube-system kubernetes-dashboard-665756d87d-jssd8 I see the following:

Starting overwatch

Creating in-cluster Heapster client
Metric client health check failed: the server could not find the requested resource (get services heapster). Retrying in 30 seconds.
Serving insecurely on HTTP port: 9090

I read through a bunch of links from a Google search on the error but nothing really worked.

Key components are:

• Local: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• minikube: v0.28.0
• Kubernetes Dashboard: 1.8.3

Installed via:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml

Halp!
