How to Access Your Kubernetes Cluster Remotely?<\/h2>\n

After the successful installation of a cluster, there are multiple ways to access it to start management:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kubernetes Dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. kubectl client<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Using Kubernetes Dashboard<\/h2>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> After installation, you’ll receive important connection details like a link and access token.<\/p>\n

    Copy the Access Token provided and keep it safe on your local system.<\/p>\n

    \"Copy<\/a><\/p>\n

    This token is needed to log in<\/a> to the Kubernetes dashboard.<\/p>\n

    The same information will also be sent to you via email.<\/p>\n

    \"Login<\/a><\/p>\n

    Step 2:<\/strong> Click on the Kubernetes dashboard<\/strong> link to open the dashboard.<\/p>\n

    \"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

    Step 3:<\/strong> Select the Token option in the dashboard and paste the copied token from Step 1.<\/p>\n

    \"Paste<\/a><\/p>\n

    Step 4:<\/strong> After clicking “Sign in”<\/a> , you’ll access the Kubernetes Cluster dashboard.<\/p>\n

    \"Kubernetes<\/a><\/p>\n

    Step 5:<\/strong> If you’ve lost the email with the access token, you can retrieve it by running a specific command on the master node via Web SSH:<\/p>\n

    Navigate to the Kubernetes Cluster environment and open it. Then, access the Control Plane and choose the Web SSH<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

    \"Web<\/a><\/p>\n

    Enter the following command in the Web SSH window to get the access token.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
    kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep fulladmin | awk ‘{print $1}’) | grep ‘token:’ | sed -e’s\/token:\\| \/\/g’<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    \"Get<\/a><\/p>\n

    Now, you can reaccess the Kubernetes Dashboard.<\/p>\n

    Using Kubectl Client<\/h2>\n

    Kubectl is a tool you can use from the command line to control a Kubernetes cluster. It’s automatically installed on all master nodes when setting up the environment.<\/p>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> Follow these installation steps to use kubectl locally. Then, run a command to set up a remote connection:<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
    kubectl config set-cluster jelastic –server={api-endpoint} && \\
    \nkubectl config set-context jelastic –cluster=jelastic && \\
    \nkubectl config set-credentials user –token={token} && \\
    \nkubectl config set-context jelastic –user=user && \\
    \nkubectl config use-context jelastic<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Note:<\/strong> Replace {api-endpoint} with the Remote API URL and {token} with your access token.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Here, we have installed the kubectl on Ubuntu 20.04 and executed the command mentioned above.<\/p>\n

    \"Kubectl<\/a><\/p>\n

    The API endpoint and token details will be in the email you received when you set up Kubernetes in the environment.<\/p>\n

    Go to the email and right-click on the link Remote API Endpoint<\/strong> and select the Copy link address<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

    \"Get<\/a><\/p>\n

    Once you click on it, the address will be copied and you need to replace it with the {api-endpoint}<\/strong> in the command in Step 1.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
    The remote API Endpoint will look like this https:\/\/env-2553719.us-accuweb.cloud\/api\/<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Again, go to the Email and copy the token. You need to replace it with the {token} in the command in.<\/p>\n

    \"Copy<\/a><\/p>\n

    Tip: If Remote API wasn\u2019t enabled during installation, you can do it using the built-in add-on for master nodes in the platform dashboard.<\/p>\n

    \"Remote<\/a><\/p>\n

    Step 2:<\/strong> Check if kubectl has access to the cluster with this command:<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
    # kubectl get pods<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    \"Check<\/a><\/p>\n

    You should see information about pods in the default namespace.<\/p>\n
