I am trying do deploy PostgreSQL on AKS from the following Bitnami chart: https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/upstreamed/postgresql/#installing-the-chart
During deployment, I have been invited to use the following command (once installed) to make sure I will be able to access postgres outside the cluster (e.g. some local DBMS)
kubectl port-forward --namespace default svc/dozing-coral-postgresql 5432:5432 & PGPASSWORD="$POSTGRES_PASSWORD" psql --host 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -p 5432This results with a syntax error:
At line:1 char:80
+ ... d --namespace default svc/dozing-coral-postgresql 5432:5432 & PGPASSW
...
+ ~
The ampersand (&) character is not allowed. The & operator is reserved for
future use; wrap an ampersand in double quotation marks ("&") to pass it as
part of a string.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AmpersandNotAllowedWhat would be the correct command to unclock the ports?
The output you should see is something like
To connect to your database from outside the cluster execute the following commands:
kubectl port-forward --namespace default svc/jolly-raccoon-postgresql 5432:5432 &
PGPASSWORD="$POSTGRES_PASSWORD" psql --host 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -p 5432There are two different commands. The first one is to forward the ports, and the final & is to send this command to the background so you are able to continue using the shell
$ kubectl port-forward --namespace default svc/jolly-raccoon-postgresql 5432:5432 &
[1] 62447
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:5432 -> 5432The second command allows you to connect to the database using the forwarded port from another host where you have installed the psql client
$ PGPASSWORD="$POSTGRES_PASSWORD" psql --host 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -p 5432
psql (11.3)
Type "help" for help.
