Accessing Sextant¶
Note
These instructions assume that you installed Sextant using default name
sextant
. If you chose another name such as test
then substitute
test-sextant-0
for sextant-0
in the instructions below.
Option 1 - Port Forwarding¶
You can use port forwarding using this command:
Connect to Sextant by pointing a browser at http://localhost:8080
Option 2 - Using Load Balancer¶
If you want a persistent connection to your Sextant instance, one way of doing this is to create a load balancer.
Note
While this is acceptable in the short term, we recommend setting up an ingress controller for long-term access as described below.
To obtain the external IP of the LoadBalancer you just created, use the following command:
Connect to Sextant by pointing a browser at the external IP returned by this command.
Option 3 - Using Ingress Controller¶
If you have an ingress controller installed into your cluster, Sextant may be
configured to use it, by specifying configuration in your values.yaml
similar
to the following:
There are several other options available when configuring Sextant to use an ingress which are detailed here.
