Dashboard containers accept multiple arguments that can be used to customize them.
| Argument name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| insecure-port | 9000 | The port to listen to for incoming HTTP requests. |
| port | 9001 | The secure port to listen to for incoming HTTPS requests. |
| insecure-bind-address | 127.0.0.1 | The IP address on which to serve the --insecure-port (set to 127.0.0.1 for loopback only). |
| bind-address | 0.0.0.0 | The IP address on which to serve the --port (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces). |
| default-cert-dir | /certs | Directory path containing --tls-cert-file and --tls-key-file files. Used also when auto-generating certificates flag is set. Relative to the container, not the host. |
| tls-cert-file | - | File containing the default x509 Certificate for HTTPS. |
| tls-key-file | - | File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file. |

| apiserver-host | - | The address of the Kubernetes Apiserver to connect to in the format of protocol://address:port, e.g., http://localhost:8080. If not specified, the assumption is that the binary runs inside a Kubernetes cluster and local discovery is attempted. |
| sidecar-host | - | The address of the Sidecar Apiserver to connect to in the format of protocol://address:port, e.g., http://localhost:8000. If not specified, the assumption is that the binary runs inside a Kubernetes cluster and service proxy will be used. |

| metrics-scraper-service-name | kubernetes-dashboard-metrics-scraper | Name of the dashboard metrics scraper service. |
| disable-csrf-protection | false | Allows disabling CSRF protection. |
| csrf-key | - | Base64 encoded random 256 bytes key. Can be loaded from 'CSRF_KEY' environment variable. |
| act-as-proxy | false | Forces dashboard to work in full proxy mode, meaning that any in-cluster calls are disabled. |
| v | 1 | Number for the log level verbosity (default 1) |
| Argument name | Default value | Description |

| address | 0.0.0.0 | The IP address on which to serve the --port (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces). |
| kubeconfig | - | Path to kubeconfig file. |
| csrf-key | - | Base64 encoded random 256 bytes key. Can be loaded from 'CSRF_KEY' environment variable. |
| v | 1 | Number for the log level verbosity (default 1) |
| Argument name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| kubeconfig | - | Path to kubeconfig file. |
| db-file | /tmp/metrics.db | What file to use as a SQLite3 database. |
| metric-resolution | 1m | The resolution at which dashboard-metrics-scraper will poll metrics. |
| metric-duration | 15m | The duration after which metrics are purged from the database. |
| logtostderr | true | Log to standard error. |
| namespace | - | The namespace to use for all metric calls. When provided, skip node metrics. |
| v | 1 | Number for the log level verbosity (default 1) |
| Argument name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| insecure-port | 8000 | The port to listen to for incoming HTTP requests. |
| port | 8001 | The secure port to listen to for incoming HTTPS requests. |

| namespace | kube-system | Namespace to use when creating Dashboard specific resources, i.e. settings config map. |
| settings-config-map-name | kubernetes-dashboard-settings | Name of a config map, that stores settings. |
