+Ceph Dashboard
+==============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The Ceph Dashboard is a built-in web-based Ceph management and monitoring
+application to administer various aspects and objects of the cluster. It is
+implemented as a Ceph Manager module.
+
+Enabling and Starting the Dashboard
+-----------------------------------
+
+If you want to start the dashboard from within a development environment, you
+need to have built Ceph (see the toplevel ``README.md`` file and the `developer
+documentation <https://ceph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/quick_guide/>`_ for
+details on how to accomplish this.
+
+If you use the ``vstart.sh`` script to start up your development cluster, it
+will configure and enable the dashboard automatically. The URL and login
+credentials are displayed when the script finishes.
+
+Please see the `Ceph Dashboard documentation
+<https://ceph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mgr/dashboard/>`_ for details on how to
+enable and configure the dashboard manually and how to configure other settings,
+e.g. access to the Ceph object gateway.
+
+Working on the Dashboard Code
+-----------------------------
+
+If you're interested in helping with the development of the dashboard, please
+see ``/doc/dev/dev_guide/dash_devel.rst`` or the `online version
+<https://ceph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/developer_guide/dash-devel/>`_ for
+details on how to set up a development environment and other development-related
+topics.
