This HelmChart does not expose the Traefik dashboard by default, for security concerns.Thus, there are multiple ways to expose the dashboard.For instance, the dashboard access could be achieved through a port-forward :

Accessible with the url: http://127.0.0.1:9000/dashboard/

Another way would be to apply your own configuration, for instance,by defining and applying an IngressRoute CRD (kubectl apply -f dashboard.yaml):
