Connect to a published port from the outside world : difference between PWD and PWK

Hi,

There is a difference in the FAQ between “master” tag and “k8s” tag concerning access to published port :

master README.md (PWD)

If you need to access your services from outside, use the following URL pattern http://ip<hyphen-ip>-<session_jd>-<port>.direct.labs.play-with-docker.com (i.e: http://ip-2-135-3-b8ir6vbg5vr00095iil0-8080.direct.labs.play-with-docker.com).

k8s README.md (PWK)

If you need to access your services from outside, use the following URL pattern http://pwd<underscore_ip>-<port>.<host#>.labs.play-with-docker.com (i.e: http://pwd10_2_135_3-80.host3.labs.play-with-docker.com/).

1. hyphen or underscore ?
2. ‘ip’ or ‘pwd’ prefix ?
3. ‘play-with-docker.com’ or ‘play-with-k8s.com’ suffix ?

I am trying to display kubernetes dashboard on PWK as advised in #258 but does not manage to have the right URL… Are these differences normal and what is the right configuration to access K8S dashboard after deploying it and starting ‘kubectl proxy --port=8080’ ?

Thanks

Try deploying the dashboard service and expose it as either NodePort or LoadBalancer. You can use this command to dynamically change it in the kubectl apply. curl -L -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/alternative/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml | sed 's/targetPort: 9090/targetPort: 9090\n type: LoadBalancer/' | kubectl apply -f -

That should populate the blue badge at the top so you can click in there

Quick suggestions:

1. The URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/alternative/kubernet es-dashboard.yaml is no longer valid. The correct link is:

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

Also, the default port is 8443 and NOT 9090. Hence you might need to correct it to:

sed 's/targetPort: 8443/targetPort: 9090\n type: LoadBalancer/' 

Hope it helps
