Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version): v0.28.1

• OS : macOS Sierra v10.12.6
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): virtualbox
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION): minikube-v0.28.1.iso

What happened:

After running kubectl proxy, http://localhost:8001/ui shows the following in the browser:

What you expected to happen:

• http://localhost:8001/ui should redirect to http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard/proxy/#!/overview

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

• run kubectl proxy
• navigate to http://localhost:8001/ui through the browser or curl http://localhost:8001/ui

The /ui shortcut on the apiserver was deprecated in Kubernetes: https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/issues/3042

The new way to do this in minikube is: "minikube dashboard"
