Expose service to minikube with yaml file

12/18/2018

this my first deployment yaml file, i'm testing k8s with minikube like an external cluster, i would expose port 80 of minikube cluster to port 8080 of container (webservice). This my yaml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: List
metadata:
  resourceVersion: ""
  selfLink: ""
items:

############ Services ###############
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: Service
  metadata:
    name: kuard-80
    labels:
      component: webserver
      app: k8s-test
  spec:
    ports:
    - port: 80
      targetPort: 8080
      protocol: TCP
    loadBalancerIP: 192.168.99.100 # Minikube IP from "minikube ip"
    selector:
      component: webserver
    sessionAffinity: None
    type: LoadBalancer

############ Deployments ############
- apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
  kind: Deployment
  metadata:
    name: kuard
    labels:
      component: webserver
      app: k8s-test
  spec:
    replicas: 1 # tells deployment to run 1 pod matching the template
    selector:
      matchLabels:
        component: webserver
    strategy:
      rollingUpdate:
        maxSurge: 25%
        maxUnavailable: 25%
      type: RollingUpdate
    template:
      metadata:
        labels:
          component: webserver
      spec:
        volumes:
          - name: "kuard-data"
            hostPath:
              path: "/var/lib/kuard"
        containers:
          - image: gcr.io/kuar-demo/kuard-amd64:1
            name: kuard
            volumeMounts:
              - mountPath: "/data"
                name: "kuard-data"
            livenessProbe:
              httpGet:
                path: /healthy
                port: 8080
              initialDelaySeconds: 5
              timeoutSeconds: 1
              periodSeconds: 10
              failureThreshold: 3
            ports:
              - containerPort: 8080
                protocol: TCP

    restartPolicy: Always

I expect the port 80 to answer me on http://192.168.99.100 , where the error? here are the results of some commands, services and endpoints

$ kubectl get service

NAME         TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE
kuard-80     LoadBalancer   10.107.163.175   <pending>     80:30058/TCP   3m
kubernetes   ClusterIP      10.96.0.1        <none>        443/TCP        34d

$ kubectl get endpoints

NAME         ENDPOINTS             AGE
kuard-80     172.17.0.7:8080       10m
kubernetes   192.168.99.100:8443   34d

Thanks for any help you can give me and excuse me if the question is stupid...

Your service is of type LoadBalancer which is supported only for cloud, hence your external ip is in pending state.

NAME         TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE
kuard-80     LoadBalancer   10.107.163.175   <pending>     80:30058/TCP   3m

You can expose your service using NodePort in minikube. Following will be the yaml file for that:

 apiVersion: v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     name: kuard-80
     labels:
       component: webserver
       app: k8s-test
   spec:
     ports:
     - port: 80
       targetPort: 8080
       protocol: TCP
     selector:
       component: webserver
     type: NodePort

Now, when you do kubectl describe service kuard-80 you will be able to see a port of type NodePort whose value will be in between 30000-32767. You will be able to access your application using:

http://<vm_ip>:<node_port>

Hope this helps
