Restricted Kubernetes dashboard?

问题

Is it possible to have a restricted Kubernetes dashboard? The idea is to have a pod running kubectl proxy in the cluster (protected with basic HTTP authentication) to get a quick overview of the status:

• Log output of the pods
• Running services and pods
• Current CPU/memory usage

However, I do not want users to be able to do "privileged" actions, like creating new pods, deleting pods or accessing secrets.

Is there some option to start the dashboard with a specified user or with restricted permissions?

回答1:

It should be possible in kubernetes with RBAC enabled. You do not need to run a pod with kubectl proxy. I'm not sure whether it is possible to have 2 different sets of permissions for the same pod, but worst case you have to run 2 dashboards.

Basically, what you need to do is:

• deploy dashboard in your cluster with read-only permissions in RBAC
• expose your running dashboard service
• add ingress with basic HTTP auth

Based on the answer from lwolf, I used the kubernetes-dashboard.yaml and changed it to run on the slaves, in the default namespace.

The important change is the kind: ClusterRole, name: view part, which assigns the view role to the dashboard user.
