Is it possible to run two Kubernetes dashboard's locally within two different shells? I want to view two different cluster's at the same time, however, I run into an issue with the dashboard's port.
I created the first dashboard like so:
$ kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep admin-user | awk '{print $1}')
$ kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
I opened a new shell and changed context to the new cluster receiving the error:
$ listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8001: bind: address already in use
I understand why this is happening, however I'm not sure how to mitigate this problem.
Furthermore, when I change the port to 8002 for the second cluster's dashboard I'm unable to view both pages live without one rendering an Internal Server Error (500): square/go-jose: error in cryptographic primitive
I have switched to incognito, adding a Chrome configuration to erase/ignore browser cookies from localhost:8001 and localhost:8002, however when I go to login I receive the following error in the Chrome console:
Possibly unhandled rejection: {
"data":"MSG_LOGIN_UNAUTHORIZED_ERROR\n",
"status":401,
"config":{
"method":"GET",
"transformRequest":[

],
"transformResponse":[

],
"jsonpCallbackParam":"callback",
"url":"api/v1/rbac/status",
"headers":{
"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*"
}
},
"statusText":"Unauthorized",
"xhrStatus":"complete",
"resource":{
}
}
The problem originates from the kubectl-proxy. The first one is using port 8001 and a port can be used only once. You can start your second kubectl on a different port
kubectl proxy --port=8002
You need to point your browser to the different port to access the other dashboard, of course.
