I have gotten multiple containers to work in the same pod.

 kubectl apply  -f myymlpod.yml

kubectl expose pod mypod --name=myname-pod --port 8855 --type=NodePort

then I was able to test the "expose"

minikube service list

..

|-------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
|  NAMESPACE  |          NAME           |             URL             |
|-------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
| default     | kubernetes              | No node port                |
| default     | myname-pod              | http://192.168.99.100:30036 |
| kube-system | kube-dns                | No node port                |
| kube-system | kubernetes-dashboard    | No node port                |
|-------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------|

Now, my myymlpod.yml has multiple containers in it. One container has a service running on 8855, and one on 8877.

The below article ~hints~ at what I need to do .

Exposing multiple containers in a Pod

While this example shows how to use a single container to access other containers in the pod, it’s quite common for several containers in a Pod to listen on different ports — all of which need to be exposed. To make this happen, you can either create a single service with multiple exposed ports, or you can create a single service for every poirt you’re trying to expose.

"create a single service with multiple exposed ports"

I cannot find anything on how to actually do this, expose multiple ports.

How does one expose multiple ports on a single service?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it is still not working when I try to invoke the "exposed" items.

calling

http://192.168.99.100:30784/myrestmethod

does not work

and calling

http://192.168.99.100:31751

or

http://192.168.99.100:31751/index.html

does not work

Anyone see what I'm missing.

APPEND (working now)

The selector does not match on "name", it matches on label(s).
