• Set up the dashboard
• Access the dashboard

Set up the dashboard

First, switch to the controller model (always called controller; see juju status):

juju switch controller

Then, deploy the juju-dashboard charm:

juju deploy juju-dashboard

Next, integrate it with the controller application (always called controller; see juju status):

juju integrate juju-dashboard controller

Now, expose the juju-dashboard application:

juju expose juju-dashboard

Your application is now ready to be accessed.

Access the dashboard

See also: juju dashboard

First, use the dashboard command to get the IP address and login credentials to access the dashboard:

juju dashboard

This will produce output similar to the following:

Dashboard for controller "my-controller is enabled at:

https://10.55.60.10:17070/dashboard

Your login credential is:

username: admin

password: 1d191f0ef257a3fc3af6be0814f6f1b0

Now copy-paste the URL into the browser to access the dashboard.

Your browser will give you an error message when you open the URL warning that the site certificate should not be trusted. This is because Juju is generating a self-signed SSL certificate rather than one from a certificate authority (CA). Depending on your browser, choose to manually proceed or add an exception to continue past the browser’s error page.

After opening the Juju dashboard URL, you are greeted with the login window, where you will have to provide the credentials to access the model. These credentials can be copied from the output of juju dashboard.

If you’d rather not have your login credentials displayed in the output of juju dashboard, they can be suppressed by adding the --hide-credential argument.
