Accessing the Kasten Dashboard

Let's perform the following steps to access the Kasten Dashboard. This is where we will be taking application backups and restoring them:

1. Create port forwarding using the following command. This step will forward the Kasten Dashboard service on port 8000 to your local workstation on port 8080:

$ export KASTENDASH_POD=$(kubectl get pods --namespace kasten-io -l "service=gateway" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
$ kubectl port-forward --namespace kasten-io $KASTENDASH_POD 8080:8000 >> /dev/null &

2. On your workstation, open http://127.0.0.1:8080/k10/# with your browser:

$ firefox http://127.0.0.1:8080/k10/#

3. Read and accept the end user license agreement:

With that, you have accessed the Kasten Dashboard. You can familiarize yourself with it by clicking the main menus and referring to the Kasten documentation link in the See also section for additional settings if needed.
