I have deployed consul using hashicorp-consul-helm-chart now, I want to connect to the consul from my Node.js project.
Therefore, I created an object like this : (using 'consul' npm package)
import consul from 'consul';
var consulObj = new consul({
host: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx',
promisify: true
});
var watch = consulObj.watch({
method: consulObj.kv.get,
options: { key: 'config' },
backoffFactor: 1000,
});
I have got the host value from kubectl get endpoints
used the value opposite to consul-server
still, i get consul: kv.get: connect ETIMEDOUT
when I run the code.
what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance!
You should be accessing the Consul client which is running on the node where your app is located instead of directly accessing the server.
