Ingress Dashboard

A simple UI to use as a default Ingress into your Kubernetes cluster.

Why?

If you have ever tried to visit an Ingress host on a Kubernetes cluster and been confronted with a 404 or some other error, this project will provide a simple landing page that will list all the available Ingresses at their registered locations.

How?

Most ingress controllers allow a default service to be used when no route matches an incoming request, this project will serve a simpe UI listing all the Ingresses so that users can find the correct location.

Getting Started

A Helm chart is provided at deploy/helm and can be installed as follows:

  git clone [email protected]:taemon1337/ingress-dashboard.git
  helm install ./ingress-dashboard/deploy/helm/ingress-dashboard

See your Ingress Controller documentation for how to set a default backend; for nginx-ingress there is a --default-backend-service cli argument that can be set to ingress-dashboard/ingress-dashboard if you don't modify the release name.

Ingress Annotations

The Dashboard will use the ingress.metadata.name to attempt to load an accurate project photo for the ingress if the ingress is named after the project, i.e. longhorn-ingress will load the "longhorn" icon. You can use the following annotations on the Ingress resource to tell the Dashboard you want to use specific values in the Dashboard.

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: <project-name>-ingress
  annotations:
    "dashboard-hide": ""                                  # if present, do not display in dashboard
    "dashboard-index": 1                                  # sort by index (lower is first)
    "dashboard-title": "My Falco Service"                 # title to override default which is host
    "dashboard-text": "Additional text to display"        # only display if present
    "dashboard-image": "/img/falco"                       # specify either full URL or images service slug /img/<slug>
    "dashboard-host": "myservice.mycluster.com"           # set or override host
    "dashboard-href": "myservice.mycluster.com/falco/ui"  # set or override href
    "dashboard-proto": "https://"                         # if not overriding href, set the proto to http:// or https://
