kubernetes: Problems accessing the API server

Kubernetes version (use kubectl version):

kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"3", GitVersion:"v1.3.6", GitCommit:"ae4550cc9c89a593bcda6678df201db1b208133b", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2016-08-26T18:13:23Z", GoVersion:"go1.6.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"3", GitVersion:"v1.3.6", GitCommit:"ae4550cc9c89a593bcda6678df201db1b208133b", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2016-08-26T18:06:06Z", GoVersion:"go1.6.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

Environment:

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: aws, custom provisioned, no cloud provider selected
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):

cat /etc/os-release

NAME="Ubuntu"

What happened:

kubectl --namespace="kube-system" logs kubernetes-dashboard-997876578-xq58k

Starting HTTP server on port 9090
Creating API server client for http://localhost:8080
Error while initializing connection to Kubernetes apiserver. This most likely means that the cluster is misconfigured (e.g., it has invalid apiserver certificates or service accounts configuration) or the --apiserver-host param points to a server that does not exist. Reason: Get http://localhost:8080/version: dial tcp [::1]:8080: getsockopt: connection refused

What you expected to happen: get the logs of the pod

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): the api server runs with:

kube-apiserver --service-cluster-ip-range="10.2.0.0/16" \
    --etcd-servers="http://localhost:2379" \
    --cloud-provider=""

# on master
kubectl create -f https://rawgit.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
