Lab 9.2

I have problems with this Lab. I work on a local setup with one CP and one Worker Node. Lab 9.1 is successfully installed. Now I can't go any further.

user@k8s-master-01 ~]$ curl 127.0.0.1:30977
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 30977: Connection refused

It is the same when i am on the worker node. I have no open port 30977 on both nodes. I checked that with 'netstat'

So i have done the same on an eks to check this in a fast way. The result is the same.

Something went wrong here, do i need a load-balancer? Or is there something else missing that the learners should find out for themselves? In other labs I had the impression a few times that you were installing something like that, I can't find the problem here.

@reactivan You simply didn't change port from 8080 to 80 -- that's why you don't have access via NodePort (nginx itself doesn't listen on 8080). See lab 9.1 p13.

You can't see that port is listening via netstat, because it is routed via iptables.

Hello @reactivan

On Lab Exercise 9.2, it is expected that we use curl with HTTP protocol, not HTTPS. On the other hand, it is important to use "http://" on your command (not only IP address).

Have you tried "curl http://:NodePort"?

At fiist, sorry for the double post, i had problems with the markdown for the code examples. When I left the forum I thought it was only one post.

I have not tried your command curl http://:30977 -but i tried it now for fun, it doesn't work. Also these::

curl http://k8s-endpoint.example.org:30977
curl http://k8s-endpoint:30977
curl http://k8s-master-01:30977
curl http://k8s-worker-01:30977
curl http://k8s-master-01.example.org:30977
curl http://k8s-worker-01.example.org:30977
curl http://127.0.0.1:30977

curl: (7) Failed to connect to * 30977: Connection refused
It doesnt't work for me.

As i say before, i checked with netstat on both nodes:

# netstat -tulpn

...

there is no open Port 30977

It works now with a simpler setup:

kubectl run echoserver --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.10 --restart=Never --port=8080 -l app=echoserver
kubectl create service nodeport echoserver --tcp=5005:8080

This works with all commands like:

curl http://k8s-endpoint.example.org:31861
curl k8s-endpoint:31861
curl 192.168.99.200:31861

But i have to understand that i can't see the nodeport 31861 with netstat.

now I started again with 8.1 and understood the whole thing. Many Thanks!
