Chapter 12. Client Configuration using Port Forwarding

Obtain the Heketi service pod name by running the following command:

oc get pods

# oc get pods

To forward the port on your local system to the pod, execute the following command on another terminal of your local system:

oc port-forward <heketi pod name> 8080:8080

# oc port-forward <heketi pod name> 8080:8080

On the original terminal execute the following command to test the communication with the server:

curl http://localhost:8080/hello

# curl http://localhost:8080/hello

This will forward the local port 8080 to the pod port 8080.

Setup the Heketi server environment variable by running the following command:

export HEKETI_CLI_SERVER=http://localhost:8080

# export HEKETI_CLI_SERVER=http://localhost:8080

Get information from Heketi by running the following command:

heketi-cli topology info

# heketi-cli topology info
