How to enable kubernetes dashboard via nodeport?

Question

I'm trying to enable dashboard via nodeport service. I have 3 VMs:

• 192.168.100.31 - master
• 192.168.100.32 - minion
• 192.168.100.33 - minion (dashboard here)

After applying:

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

Dashboard became accessable via kube-proxy. So I've erited service to become NodePort:

kubectl edit services kubernetes-dashboard -n kube-system

Then I've tried to access the dashboard via https NodePort. And it fails. When I'm trying to visit 192.168.100.31 or 192.168.100.32 like:

https://192.168.100.31:32443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#!/overview?namespace=default

Browser hangs out & fired timeout error. Meanwhile the same URL for 192.168.100.33 allow me to add site to the browser exceptions cause of self signed cert and ... fail.

This site can’t be reached
The webpage at https://192.168.100.33:32443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#!/overview?namespace=default might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Looks like you are using an apiserver type of request while accessing the dashboard service directly via NodePort Service.

Could you check the following links in your browser to access Kubernetes dashboard:

https://192.168.100.31:32433/

https://192.168.100.32:32433/

https://192.168.100.33:32433/
