+## Kubernetes Dashboard
+
+A dashboard has been installed and is accessible via NodePort on the master node.
+
+1. **Get the Token**:
+   Run this command on the master node to get your login token:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl get secret admin-user-token -n kubernetes-dashboard -o jsonpath={".data.token"} | base64 -d
+   ```
+
+2. **Access the Dashboard**:
+   Open your browser and navigate to:
+   `https://<master-ip>:30443`
+
+   *Note: Since it uses a self-signed certificate, you will need to bypass the browser security warning (usually click "Advanced" -> "Proceed").*
