Everything is installed and configured

The following Deckhouse Platform capabilities are available right after the installation.

By default, Dex is used for accessing all the components.

Open the cluster web interface by clicking the “Connect and open” button in the row with the created cluster on the main screen. What the Connect and open button looks like...

The web interface for managing the installed DP cluster will open in the same window.

If you did not configure the DNS name template and did not create an Ingress controller during installation, follow these steps:

  1. Install an Ingress controller.
    Go to “Network” → “Load balancing” → “Ingress controllers” and create a new Ingress controller by clicking “Add” and selecting “Host port”.

    Creating an Ingress controller

    Enter a name and click “Create”.
    If you need HTTPS access to cluster components, enable it in the “Default certificate” section.

    New Ingress controller settings

  2. Configure the DNS name template to be used for cluster components.

    The DNS name template is used to configure Ingress resources for system applications. For example, the Grafana UI is bound to the name grafana. Then, for the template %s.kube.company.my, Grafana will be available at grafana.kube.company.my, and so on.

    Go to “Deckhouse” → “Global settings” and enter the template in the “DNS name template” field.
