charmed kubeflow control panel access

Question

This is probably a classical case of - error 40 - [*]. I setup the canonical charmed kubeflow according to the official guide. I use kvm virtual machine to make it easy deployment/cleanup.

I have links installed in my vm and can see the website for control panel loads, but complains about lack of javascript(expeted), but when I try to use the same address from the host machine, it fails to resolve. I tried to setup a proxy, but kubectl refuses to work - there's no config in the ~/.kube (not even an empty one)

• How do I get the control panel exposed to the host machine (and in the future to the entire network)?
• Can I use kubectl with cluster deployed by juju? Are there any special requirements for that?

I never used juju before, but I assumed everything would be deployed and configured automagically. Since I followed the steps from the aforementioned official guide. I'll greatly appreciate help - and even more some explanation!

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

juju status:

[*] - error 40 is sitting 40cm from the screen ;)
