+# Dashboard
+
+Minikube supports the [Kubernetes Dashboard](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard) out of the box.
+
+## Accessing the UI
+
+To access the dashboard:
+
+```shell
+minikube dashboard
+```
+
+This will enable the dashboard add-on, and open the proxy in the default web browser.
+
+To stop the proxy (leaves the dashboard running), abort the started process (`Ctrl+C`).
+
+## Individual steps
+
+If the automatic command doesn't work for you for some reason, here are the steps:
+
+```console
+$ minikube addons enable dashboard
+✅  dashboard was successfully enabled
+```
+
+If you have your kubernetes client configured for minikube, you can start the proxy:
+
+```console
+$ kubectl --context minikube proxy
+Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
+```
+
+Access the dashboard at:
+
+<http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/>
+
+For additional information, see [this page](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/).
