Edge Conductor - Frequently Asked Questions¶
#. How do I access the Portainer Web UI on KIND cluster?
The latest KIND release does not support LoadBalancer .So. the External-IP for the Portainer service Web UI will always be pending as shown below:
$ kubectl get pod,svc -n portainer
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/portainer-fc654c454-g4qvl 1/1 Running 26 3h26m
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
service/portainer LoadBalancer 10.96.182.150 <pending> 9000:31343/TCP,8000:32344/TCP 3h26m
To access the Portainer service in this situation, use the kubectl port-forward command to forward a local port to Portainer service port 9000, which is used for the Web UI.
For example, the following command will forward the access request from localhost 5990 port to Portainer service at 9000:
$ kubectl port-forward -n portainer service/portainer 5990:9000
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:5990 -> 9000
When the port-forwarding is running (indicated by the log message Forwarding from ...), you can access 127.0.0.1:5990 to visit the Portainer Web UI and create the initial admin account.
NOTE: If no client is accessing the forwarded port for a while (50 seconds), the port-forwarding will stop automatically.
NOTE: If you do not create your admin account within five minutes of launching the service, the Portainer service will restart automatically.
#. How do I delete the Redfish service?
Redfish is deployed and run as a daemon. To uninstall it, delete the redfish-server daemon set with the following command:
kubectl delete daemonset redfish-server -n vmware-system-auth
