You don't need a 1-click app. Our helmet script will install the required NGINXs.

## Install Kubernetes Dashboard
We recommend installing a Kubernetes Dashboard, as DigitalOcean no longer offers a pre-installed dashboard.
- 1-click-deployment of [Kubernetes Dashboard on DigitalOcean marketplace](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/kubernetes-dashboard)
There you will also find a section entitled `Getting Started`, which describes how you can log in from your local computer.
Very short description:
### In your DigitalOcean Account
For authentication, download the current cluster configuration file from DigitalOcean.
### In Terminal
Set the context of the cluster by command:
```bash
$ kubectl config use-context <context-name>
```
Port-forward the Kubernetes Dashboard to your local machine:
```bash
# save pod name
$ export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -n kubernetes-dashboard -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=kubernetes-dashboard,app.kubernetes.io/instance=kubernetes-dashboard" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
# forward port
$ kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard port-forward $POD_NAME 8443:8443
```
### Log-In to Kubernetes Dashboard
Access the URL in your local web browser at <https://127.0.0.1:8443/>, and log in using your Kubernetes cluster credentials downloaded config file. You may encounter a certificate warning, so make sure to override it.
