Install Modern Kubernetes Dashboard

Note: This installation command will not install CI/CD integration. For CI/CD, refer install Devtron with CI/CD section.

Run the following command to install Modern Kubernetes Dashboard:

--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd

Devtron Dashboard

Run the following command to get the dashboard URL:

kubectl get svc -n devtroncd devtron-service -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress}'

You will get the result something as shown below:

[test2@server ~]$ kubectl get svc -n devtroncd devtron-service -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress}'
[map[hostname:aaff16e9760594a92afa0140dbfd99f7-305259315.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com]]

The hostname aaff16e9760594a92afa0140dbfd99f7-305259315.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com as mentioned above is the Loadbalancer URL where you can access the Devtron dashboard.

You can also do a CNAME entry corresponding to your domain/subdomain to point to this Loadbalancer URL to access it at a custom domain.

Host	Type	Points to
devtron.yourdomain.com	CNAME	aaff16e9760594a92afa0140dbfd99f7-305259315.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

Devtron Admin credentials

When you install Devtron for the first time, it creates a default admin user and password (with unrestricted access to Devtron). You can use that credentials to log in as an administrator.

Username: admin Password: Run the following command to get the admin password:

kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret \
-o jsonpath='{.data.ADMIN_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d

Next Recommended Action

When you install Devtron for the first time, it creates a default admin user and password (with unrestricted access to Devtron). You can use it to log in as an administrator.

After the initial login, we recommend you set up any Single Sign-On (SSO) service like Google, GitHub, etc., and then add other users (including yourself). Subsequently, all the users can use the same SSO (e.g., GitHub) to log in to the Dashboard.

Upgrade

If required, you can install other integrations (e.g., Build and Deploy (CI/CD) or GitOps (Argo CD)) from the Devtron Stack Manager. Refer to Devtron Stack Manager for more information.
