Unable to access service in Kubernetes - kubernetes

I've got this webserver config:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: webserver
spec:
replicas: 1
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: webserver
spec:
containers:
- name: webserver
image: nginx:alpine
ports:
- containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- name: hostvol
mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
volumes:
- name: hostvol
hostPath:
path: /home/docker/vol
and this web service config:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: web-service
labels:
run: web-service
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 80
targetPort: 80
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: webserver
I was expecting to be able to connect to the webserver via http://192.168.99.100:80 with this config but Chrome gives me a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
I tried minikube service --url web-service which gives http://192.168.99.100:30276 however this also has a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
Any further suggestions?
UPDATE
I updated the port / targetPort to 80.
However, I now get:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED for http://192.168.99.100:80/
and
an nginx 403 for http://192.168.99.100:31540/

In your service, you can define a nodePort
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: web-service
labels:
run: web-service
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 80
targetPort: 80
nodePort: 32700
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: webserver
Now, you will be able to access it on http://:32700
Be careful with port 80. Ideally, you would have an nginx ingress controller running on port 80 and all traffic will be routed through it. Using port 80 as nodePort will mess up your deployment.

In your service, you did not specify a targetPort, so the service is using the port value as targetPort, however your container is listening on 80. Add a targetPort: 80 to the service.

NodePort port range varies from 30000-32767(default). When you expose a service without specifying a port, kubernetes picks up a random port from the above range and provide you.
You can check the port by typing the below command
kubectl get svc
In your case - the application is port forwarded to 31540. Your issues seems to be the niginx configuration. Check for the nginx logs.

Please check permissions of mounted volume /home/docker/vol
To fix this you have to make the mounted directory and its contents publicly readable:
chmod -R o+rX /home/docker/vol

How can I resolve connection issues between my frontend and backend pods in Minikube?

I am trying to deploy an application to Minikube. However I am having issues connecting the frontend pod to the backend pod.
Each Deployment have a ClusterIP service, and a NodePort service.
I access the frontend via browser, executing the command: minikube service frontend-entrypoint. When the frontend tries to query the backend it requests the URL: http://fastapi-cluster-ip-service:8000/api/v1/baseline/building_type?building_type=commercial, but the status response is: (failed)net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE.
If I access the frontend via cmd, executing the command: kubectl exec -it react-deployment-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx -- sh, and execute inside it the command: curl -X GET "http://fastapi-cluster-ip-service:8000/api/v1/baseline/building_type?building_type=commercial" I get what I expect.
So, I understand that NodePorts are used to route external traffic to services inside the cluster by opening a specific port on each node in the cluster and forwarding traffic from that port to the service, and that ClusterIPs, on the other hand, are used to expose services only within the cluster and are not directly accessible from outside the cluster. What I don't understand is why when reaching the frontend via browser, the same is not able to connect internally to the backend? Once playing with the frontend I consider I am inside the cluster...
I tried to expose the cluster using other services such as Ingress or LoadBalancer, but I didn't have success connecting to the frontend, so I rollback to the NodePort solution.

BASELINE_API_URL is declared with the backend ClusterIP service name (i.e., fastapi-cluster-ip-service).

You have to think about this: If you call the api through your browser or Postman from your host, they dont know anything about the url inside your pod.
For production ingress configuration is needed, so you can call the api like:
https://api.mydomain.com/api/myroute
When you deploy the frontend the paths inside your code should be created dynamically.
Inside your code define the path with env variables and use them inside your code.
On Kubernetes define a configMap with the paths and bind it to your container.
So when you call the Frontend it will have the right paths.
Your Frontend on local can be reached with the Ip address of your masternode and the nodePort.
To not use the ip address you can create an entry in your local hosts file.
nodesipaddress mydomain.local
nodesipaddress api.mydomain.local
so from you browser you can reach the frontend with mydomain.local:nodeportOfFrontend
And your frontend code should call the backend with api.mydomain.local:nodeportOfApi
If you enable Ingress inside your cluster and create an ingress resource in your deployment and a service of type LoadBalancer, then you can call the Frontend and api without the nodePort.
If you are getting in issues with that, please post all your kubernetes yamls. Deployments, Services, configMap and ingress if you decide to use it.
UPDATE
Check if you have ingress enabled on minikube
Modify your ingress-recource
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: myingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
spec:
rules:
- host: mydomain.local
http:
paths:
- path: /
Im not sure if minikube supports ClusterIp
Change the type to LoadBalancer in your service:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: fastapi-cluster-ip-service
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
component: fastapi
ports:
- port: 8000
targetPort: 8000
If you verify your service:
kubectl get svc -o wide
kubectl describe services my-service
Look if there is external IP pending if so add externalIp:
ports:
- port: 8000
targetPort: 8000
externalIPs:
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # your minikube ip
However i would try first to create a service type NodePort and then access with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:NodePort.
In the yamls you posted i see only the backend.
Think if you use ingress or NodePort, your code must be adapted:
Your Frontend must call the api by api ingress domain or xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:NodePort / mydomain.local/api
I think you are not understanding how the frontend part of a website works.
To display the website in your browser, you actually download all the required content from the server/pod where you host the frontend.
Once the front is downloaded and displayed on your browser, now you try to hit the backend directly from your browser/computer using either an IP address or an URL.
When using an URL, you browser will try to resolve the hostname using a DNS server
So when you read a website from your browser you are not in the server/pod and you cannot resolve the URL because that URL is not mapped to any IP address (or not to your server).
Also that is why it works when you go inside the pod using kubectl exec, because you are inside the network and you are using the internal DNS.
As David said, to make this work, you need to call the backend from the frontend using sone kind of ingress.
And also you will need to create a DNS entry on your domain (if using an URL).
If not you can directly use the IP of the pod/service.

Cannot Access Application Deployment from Outside in Kubernetes

I'm trying to access my Golang Microservice that is running in the Kubernetes Cluster and has following Manifest..
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: email-application-service
namespace: email-namespace
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
run: internal-service
template:
metadata:
labels:
run: internal-service
spec:
containers:
- name: email-service-application
image: some_image
ports:
- containerPort: 8000
hostPort: 8000
protocol: TCP
envFrom:
- secretRef:
name: project-secrets
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
So to access this Deployment from the Outside of the Cluster I'm using Service as well,
And I've set up some External IP for test purposes, which suppose to forward HTTP requests to the port 8000, where my application is actually running at.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: email-internal-service
namespace: email-namespace
spec:
type: ClusterIP
externalIPs:
- 192.168.0.10
selector:
run: internal-service
ports:
- name: http
port: 8000
targetPort: 8000
protocol: TCP
So the problem is that When I'm trying to send a GET request from outside the Cluster by executing curl -f http:192.168.0.10:8000/ it just stuck until the timeout.
I've checked the state of the pods, logs of the application, matching of the selector/template names at the Service and Application Manifests, namespaces, but everything of this is fine and working properly...
(There is also a secret config but It Deployed and also working file)
Thanks...
Making reference to jordanm's solution: you want to put it back to clusterIP and then use port-forward with kubectl -n email-namespace port-forward svc/email-internal-service 8000:8000. You will then be able to access the service via http://localhost:8000. You may also be interested in github.com/txn2/kubefwd

Cannot connect to Kubernetes NodePort Service

I have a running pod that was created with the following pod-definition.yaml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: microservice-one-pod-name
labels:
app: microservice-one-app-label
type: front-end
spec:
containers:
- name: microservice-one
image: vismarkjuarez1994/microserviceone
ports:
- containerPort: 2019
I then created a Service using the following service-definition.yaml:
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: microserviceone-service
spec:
ports:
- port: 30008
targetPort: 2019
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: microservice-one-app-label
type: NodePort
I then ran kubectl describe node minikube to find the Node IP I should be connecting to -- which yielded:
Addresses:
InternalIP: 192.168.49.2
Hostname: minikube
But I get no response when I run the following curl command:
curl 192.168.49.2:30008
The request also times out when I try to access 192.168.49.2:30008 from a browser.
The pod logs show that the container is up and running. Why can't I access my Service?
The problem is that you are trying to access your service at the port parameter which is the internal port at which the service will be exposed, even when using NodePort type.
The parameter you were searching is called nodePort, which can optionally be specified together with port and targetPort. Quoting the documentation:
By default and for convenience, the Kubernetes control plane will
allocate a port from a range (default: 30000-32767)
Since you didn't specify the nodePort, one in the range was automatically picked up. You can check which one by:
kubectl get svc -owide
And then access your service externally at that port.
As an alternative, you can change your service definition to be something like:
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: microserviceone-service
spec:
ports:
- port: 30008
targetPort: 2019
nodePort: 30008
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: microservice-one-app-label
type: NodePort
But take in mind that you may need to delete your service and create it again in order to change the nodePort allocated.
I think you missed the Port in your service:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: microservice-one-pod-name
labels:
app: microservice-one-app-label
type: front-end
spec:
containers:
- name: microservice-one
image: vismarkjuarez1994/microserviceone
ports:
- containerPort: 2019
and your service should be like this:
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: microserviceone-service
spec:
ports:
- port: 2019
targetPort: 2019
nodePort: 30008
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: microservice-one-app-label
type: NodePort
You can access to your app after enabling the Minikube ingress if you want trying Ingress with Minikube.

Kubernetes local using kind, can't reach service

I am following a very simple tutorial where it spawns a simple pod with an http endpoint and a service to expose that app using kubernetes.
The setup is very simple:
app-pod.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: hello-pod
labels:
app: web
spec:
containers:
- name: web-ctr
image: nigelpoulton/getting-started-k8s:1.0
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
And the nodeport service:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: ps-nodeport
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 80
targetPort: 8080
nodePort: 31111
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: web
The service and pod seem to be healthy:
But I can't reach the running app:
locahost:31111
Give " This site can't be reached message"
I am new to this stuff so any help will be appreciated.
In Kubernetes Kind cluster, by default, NodePort may not be bound to localhost. Please check the following resources:
https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#mapping-ports-to-the-host-machine
How to use NodePort with kind?
The simplest way to access the service from localhost (like you are trying to do) would be to use
kubectl port-forward
e.g. the following command would work in your case - which forwards traffic from localhost -> ps-nodeport service
kubectl port-forward service/ps-nodeport 31111: 31111

cannot expose port using kubernetes service

My objective: To expose a pod's(running angular image) port so that I can access it from the host machine's browser.
service.yml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-frontend-service
spec:
selector:
app: MyApp
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 8000
targetPort: 4200
Pod's yml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: angular.frontend
labels:
app: MyApp
spec:
containers:
- name: angular-frontend-demo
image: angular-frontend-image
ports:
- name: nodejs-port
containerPort: 4200
Weird thing is that doing kubectl port-forward pod/angular.frontend 8000:4200 works. However, my objective is to write that in service.yml
Use Nodeport:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-frontend-service
spec:
selector:
app: MyApp
type: NodePort
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 8000
targetPort: 4200
nodePort: 30001
then you can access the service on nodeport 30001 on any node of the cluster.
For example the machine name is node01 , you can then do curl http://node01:30001
The service you've defined here is of type ClusterIP (since you haven't set a type in the spec). This means the service is only available and reachable within the cluster. You can use Ingress to make it accessible from outside the cluster, see for example this post showing how to do that for Minikube.
