I followed the tutorial from pluralsight and had the 404 ingress issue. Not entirely sure if that is related to yaml file or compatibility issue but replaced
kubectl apply -f https://gist.github.com/dahlsailrunner/bbd453f3bb6259b66c08a70d0908283f/raw/5727723217e2df4b65d8933adf04d009cfb0fe3f/local-dashboard-account.yml

with

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.4.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

and can see the dashboard now.

Thanks for the note! You can also use Lens (https://k8slens.dev) as a way to visually navigate kubernetes resources, and that's easier than these steps (also allows more than one k8s cluster). The downside is that it's a local install.

The step 3 didn't work for me. Used command from https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/docs/user/access-control/creating-sample-user.md#getting-a-bearer-token
