Access OpenShift web console remotely

11/9/2019

I have a headless CentOS 7 box to which I have ssh access. I have installed OpenShift v4.2 - the Code Ready Containers version successfully. I am able to use the oc tool, create projects, access exposed routes from services, etc.

I want to explore the visualization that comes from Istio - the service mesh. How do I access the web console remotely so that I can explore the service mesh?

Katacoda does not seem to have a OpenShift 4.2 cluster.

Two options come to my mind for the more generic case of connecting to a remote GUI:

  • VNC tunneled over ssh
  • X11 forwarding using ssh

Some years ago, VNC worked way better for me - it was lighter-weight and faster.
