Dashboard

Let's check out the dashboard a bit. Let's find the service and expose the port

k get svc -n tekton-pipelines

# We see above that the dashboard listens on port 9097 so let's do a local port-forward to have access on localhost:9097
k -n tekton-pipelines port-forward svc/tekton-dashboard 9097:9097
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:9097 -> 9097
Forwarding from [::1]:9097 -> 9097

Let's see the tasks, tasksrun, pipeline, pipelinerun and others filtering even by namespace

We can check the logs even by namespace.

For now it's not possible to create or edit pipelines visually, but it's possible to view the yamls. It's possible to create pipelineRun and taskRun with some limitations.

I'll put here as technical debt to understand a bit more about the dashboard's limitations.
