I'm trying to access Kubernetes Dashboard using NGINX INGRESS but for some reason I'm getting a 503 error.

I'm running Kubernetes locally in my macbook with docker desktop.

First thing I did was apply/install NGINX INGRESS CONTROLLER

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v0.47.0/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

Second thing I did was to apply/install kubernetes dashboard YML File

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.2.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

Third Step was to apply the ingress service

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: dashboard-ingress
  namespace: kubernetes-dashboard
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |-
      proxy_ssl_server_name on;
      proxy_ssl_name $host;
spec:
  rules:
    - http:
        paths:
          - pathType: Prefix
            path: /
            backend:
              service:
                name: kubernetes-dashboard
                port:
                  number: 433

When I try to access http://localhost and/or https://localhost I get a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable Error from nginx

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Here is part of the log from the NGINX POD

I've reproduced this setup and encountered the same issue as described in the question:

  • 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable Error

Focusing specifically on this setup, to fix above error you will need to modify the part of your Ingress manifest:

  • from:
                name: kubernetes-dashboard
                port:
                  number: 433
  • to:
                name: kubernetes-dashboard
                port:
                  number: 443 # <-- HERE!

You've encountered the 503 error as nginx was sending a request to a port that was not hosting the dashboard (433 -> 443).

After that change, I was fortunate enough to see the Dashboard login page.

I'd also recommend you following a guide to create a user that could connect to the dashboard with it's bearer token:
