Networking

Privately expose your applications

By default, this project ships with minimally configured networking for simplicity and ease of setup, though our services will be available only privately from within the cluster or via kubectl proxy.

For this project, you can enable the proxy on localhost:8001 by typing in your shell:

docker-compose up

Use can then access the applications using the "Private address" links below.

Publicly expose your applications

Read this tutorial to learn how to expose your application on the public Internet, including:

• Setting a permanent external IP address
• Creating DNS records
• Enabling a cluster ingress controller
• Adding HTTPS via Let's Encrypt TLS certificates

Modules
