Hi! We have deployed Orchest on Linux server using Minikube.

minikube ip

didn't give us access to Orchest app, so we used port-forwarding

minikube kubectl -- port-forward --address public_ip -n orchest orchest-webserver-5d8585bd64-8c6bh 8448:80

in order to have Orchest app available through our public_ip:8448. This allowed us to reach Orchest web interface, create project, but failed at openning JupyterLab notebooks - it tries to go back to project list page and then tries to enter JupyterLab, then tries to go back to project list page and then JupyterLab and gets into this loop. So, I am thinking, could it be that JupyterLab needs to be port-forwarded as well? But if that's the case, newly created JupyterLab server pod would still fail. What other options we have?

Hi @ekeras, is the ingress addon enabled in minikube? Do you see anything interesting when you run

kubectl describe ingress -n orchest

? About the ingress hostnames and such When it comes to hosting and exposing Orchest there are some caveats to keep in mind, for example the fact that the application uses websockets for some features, so whatever you are using to proxy needs to enable that. This section in the docs should be of help

We have deployed Orchest to minikube using convienience_install.sh script, which enables Ingress for minikube as well. This is what I've got from

minikube kubectl -- describe ingress -n orchest

, I don't see anything unusual.

Some things that come to mind for me: • Maybe the device driver for minikube has impact on this. We use the Docker driver ourselves. Did you use another driver? • Did you set up an FQDN for Orchest (link to docs)? Given the ingress rules it indeed doesn't work to just port-forward the

orchest-webserver

.

I’d recommend setting up nginx on the host as described in the section referred to by @Jacopo
