Kong Admin API in minikube Kubernetes cluser

7/24/2019

I have Kong installed in a minikube Kubernetes cluster. I need to access the adnmin API but it's currently using a self signed cert, and SSL which is causing issues with the admin clients that I'm trying to connect with.

I can see the environment variable of the kong pod in question which is incorrect...

KONG_ADMIN_LISTEN: 0.0.0.0:8444 ssl

I think this should be

KONG_ADMIN_LISTEN: 0.0.0.0:8000

There seems to be no way that I can reconfigure this value. I've tried using minikube dashboard and modifying the pod that way, but the update fails. It won't let me change any of the environment variables.

Surely there's a way to change this? Or maybe another way to get access to the Admin API?
