minkube dashboard command hangs on 'verifying proxy health'

Question

I'm taking a Kubernetes course and part of the course is trying out minikube. I have minikube and kubectl installed on an Ubuntu 20.04 WSL on Windows 11. When I run minikube dashboard in the Ubuntu terminal the process hangs on Verifying proxy health.... I tried running kubectl proxy in another terminal window then running minikube dashboard. I go to the dashboard URL and use the proxy port number that the kubectl proxy command indicates but I only get this:

{
  "kind": "Status",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "metadata": {},
  "status": "Failure",
  "message": "no endpoints available for service \"kubernetes-dashboard\"",
  "reason": "ServiceUnavailable",
  "code": 503
}

I've also tried running minikube by using minikube start --vm-driver=docker as mentioned in this GitHub issue but it still hangs. How do get the dashboard to run? I'm completely new to Kubernetes in general.

Answer 1

For me the same issue was resolved after a restart of the minikube.

minikube stop
<close previously opened dashboard process> - for me ctrl+c in separate terminal, but maybe you'd have to kill it
minikube start
minikube dashboard

Answer 2

It is worked for me after disabled metrics-server

minikube addons disable metrics-server

After disable, reenabled again and it continued to work.

minikube addons enable metrics-server
