How can I get an install of KubeApps running on K3s? What are the minimal required steps?

Installing k3s and kubeapps

1. Install k3s, ( https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ )

   curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
   

2. Add KUBECONFIG for user. ( https://devops.stackexchange.com/q/16043/18965 )

   export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config
   mkdir ~/.kube 2> /dev/null
   sudo k3s kubectl config view --raw > "$KUBECONFIG"
   chmod 600 "$KUBECONFIG"
   

3. Install Helm, ( https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/ )

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash
   

4. Setup Kubeapps, ( https://kubeapps.dev/ )

   1. Install Kubeapps

      helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
      helm repo update
      helm install -n kubeapps --create-namespace kubeapps bitnami/kubeapps
      

   2. Configure Kubeapps

      kubectl create --namespace default serviceaccount kubeapps-operator
      kubectl create clusterrolebinding kubeapps-operator --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:kubeapps-operator
      cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
      
      apiVersion: v1
      
      kind: Secret
      
      metadata:
      
      name: kubeapps-operator-token
      
      namespace: default
      
      annotations:
      
      kubernetes.io/service-account.name: kubeapps-operator
      
      type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
      
      EOF
      kubectl get --namespace default secret kubeapps-operator-token -o jsonpath='{.data.token}' -o go-template='{{.data.token | base64decode}}' && echo
      
      

   3. Play (note we have a slight modification with https://devops.stackexchange.com/a/16106/18965 )

      kubectl port-forward -n kubeapps --address 0.0.0.0 svc/kubeapps 8080:80
