Kubernetes Dashboard Installation giving x509: certificate signed by unknown authority error
Trying to install kubernetes dashboard in Ubuntu 16.04 resulting in x509: certificate signed by unknown authority error.
Kubernetes cluster with a single node is running fine and deployments are happening too.
Tried enabling apiserver-host property in kubernetes-dashboard.yaml file without any lock.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/aio/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
Any suggestions.
Output from kubectl get all -n kube-system

It would be better if you would specify how did you deploy your cluster but, try to regenerate your cluster certificates. If you used kubeadm then from control plane node you can run
kubeadm alpha certs renewFor more info check this
EDIT according to update on original post:
According your updated output, as you can see from the events, somehow there are many lines like:
User "system:node:ets-kubernetes" cannot list resource .........It means, above user doesn't have relevant role to do those actions on specified resources.
To fix this you have to create relevant Role and RoleBindings for this user. You can get more info from official Using RBAC Authorization documentation
