minikube fowarding to a service

11/14/2016

I have a service that directs all traffic to a UI-pod. I want to redirect traffic from my localhost:80 to that service. I have tried :

kubectl port-forward my_service 6379:6379

This doesnt work because that service is actually supposed to be a pod. I have tried:

kubectl proxy --port=8080 --www=./local/www/

which looks for a pod too. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately in kubernetes you can't port forward a service yet - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/15180

However, in minikube, you can use ssh port forwarding for the VM to achieve the same result

ssh -i ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/id_rsa docker@$(minikube ip) -L 30000:localhost:30000
