I am trying to perform a simple operation of logging into my cluster to update image of a deployment. I am stuck at the first step. I get an error that connection to localhost:8080 is refused. Please help.
$ chmod u+x kubectl && mv kubectl /bin/kubectl
$ $KUBE_CERT > ca.crt
$ kubectl config set-cluster cfc --server=$KUBE_URL --certificate-authority=ca.crt
Cluster "cfc" set.
$ kubectl config set-context cfc --cluster=cfc
Context "cfc" created.
$ kubectl config set-credentials gitlab-admin --token=$KUBE_TOKEN
User "gitlab-admin" set.
$ kubectl config set-context cfc --user=gitlab-admin
Context "cfc" modified.
$ kubectl config use-context cfc
Switched to context "cfc".
$ echo "Deploying dashboard with version extracted from tag ${CI_COMMIT_TAG}"
Deploying dashboard with version extracted from tag dev-1.0.4-22
$ kubectl get pods
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?The reason why you have you connection refused is because your proxy is not started. Try executing code below so kubectl can access the cluster via proxy (localhost:8080).
kubectl proxy --address 0.0.0.0 --accept-hosts '.*' &Another approach is to use curl and operate with your cluster just like in the following example:
curl --cacert /path/to/cert -H "Bearer {your token}" "${KUBE_URL}/api"
