Openshift - accessing non http port - kubernetes

Question

I have a fairly simple (SpringBoot) app that listens on the following port:
8080 - for HTTP (swagger page)
1141 - non HTTP traffic. It is for FIX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Information_eXchange) port. i.e. direct socket to socket, TCP/IP port. The FIX engine used is QuickfixJ.
I'm trying to deploy this app on OpenShift cluster. The configuration looks like below:
Here are the YAMLs I have:
Deployment config:
apiVersion: apps.openshift.io/v1
kind: DeploymentConfig
metadata:
labels:
app: pricing-sim-depl
name: pricing-sim-deployment
namespace: my-namespace
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
app: pricing-sim-depl
strategy:
resources:
limits:
cpu: 200m
memory: 1024Mi
requests:
cpu: 100m
memory: 512Mi
type: Recreate
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: pricing-sim-depl
spec:
containers:
- image: >-
my-docker-registry/alex/pricing-sim:latest
name: pricing-sim-pod
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
protocol: TCP
- containerPort: 1141
protocol: TCP
tty: true
resources:
limits:
cpu: 200m
memory: 1024Mi
requests:
cpu: 100m
memory: 512Mi
Then I created a ClusterIP service for accessing the HTTP Swagger page:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
labels:
app: pricing-sim-sv
name: pricing-sim-service
namespace: my-namespace
spec:
ports:
- name: swagger-port
port: 8080
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8080
selector:
app: pricing-sim-depl
type: ClusterIP
and also the Router for accessing it:
apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1
kind: Route
metadata:
labels:
app: pricing-sim-tn-swagger
name: pricing-sim-tunnel-swagger
namespace: my-namespace
spec:
host: pricing-sim-swagger-my-namespace.apps.cpaas.service.test
port:
targetPort: swagger-port
to:
kind: Service
name: pricing-sim-service
weight: 100
wildcardPolicy: None
The last component is a NodePort service to access the FIX port:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
labels:
app: pricing-sim-esp-service
name: pricing-sim-esp-service
namespace: my-namespace
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 1141
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 1141
nodePort: 30005
selector:
app: pricing-sim-depl
So far, the ClusterIP & Router works fine. I can access the swagger page at
http://fxc-fix-engine-swagger-my-namespace.apps.cpaas.service.test
However, I'm not sure how I can access the FIX port (defined by NodePort service above). First, I cant use Router - as it is not a HTTP endpoint (and thats why I defined it as NodePort).
Looking at OpenShift page, I can see the following for 'pricing-sim-esp-service':
Selectors:
app=pricing-sim-depl
Type: NodePort
IP: 172.30.11.238
Hostname: pricing-sim-esp-service.my-namespace.svc.cluster.local
Session affinity: None
Traffic (one row)
Route/Node Port: 30005
Service Port: 1141/TCP
Target Port: 1141
Hostname: none
TLS Termination: none
BTW.. i'm following the suggestion on this StackOverflow post: OpenShift :: How do we enable traffic into pod on a custom port (non-web / non-http)
I've also tried using LoadBalancer service type. Which actually gives external IP on the service page above. But that 'external IP' doesnt seem to be accessible from my local PC either.
The version of openshift we are running is:
OpenShift Master: v3.11.374
Kubernetes Master: v1.11.0+d4cacc0
OpenShift Web Console: 3.11.374-1-3365aaf
Thank you in advance!
