How to access simple nginx deployment on kubernetes? - nginx

Question

I want to deploy a simple nginx app on my own kubernetes cluster.
I used the basic nginx deployment. On the machine with the ip 192.168.188.10. It is part of cluster of 3 raspberries.
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
master-pi4 Ready master 2d20h v1.18.2
node1-pi4 Ready <none> 2d19h v1.18.2
node2-pi3 Ready <none> 2d19h v1.18.2
$ kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx
deployment.apps/nginx created
$ kubectl create service nodeport nginx --tcp=80:80
service/nginx created
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
my-nginx-8fb6d868-6957j 1/1 Running 0 10m
my-nginx-8fb6d868-8c59b 1/1 Running 0 10m
nginx-f89759699-n6f79 1/1 Running 0 4m20s
$ kubectl describe service nginx
Name: nginx
Namespace: default
Labels: app=nginx
Annotations: <none>
Selector: app=nginx
Type: NodePort
IP: 10.98.41.205
Port: 80-80 80/TCP
TargetPort: 80/TCP
NodePort: 80-80 31400/TCP
Endpoints: <none>
Session Affinity: None
External Traffic Policy: Cluster
Events: <none>
But I always get a time out
$ curl http://192.168.188.10:31400/
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.188.10 port 31400: Connection timed out
Why is the web server nginx not reachable? I tried to run it from the same machine I deployed it to? How can I make it accessible from an other machine from the network on port 31400?

Answer 1

As mentioned by #suren, you are creating a stand-alone service without any link with your deployment.
You can solve using the command from suren answer, or creating a new deployment using the follow yaml spec:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
ports:
- name: http
containerPort: 80
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-svc
spec:
type: NodePort
selector:
app: nginx
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
After, type kubectl get svc to get the nodeport to access your service.
nginx-svc NodePort 10.100.136.135 <none> 80:31816/TCP 34s
To access use http://<YOUR_NODE_IP>:31816

Answer 2

so is 192.168.188.10 your host ip / your vm ip ?
you have to check it first if any service using that port or maybe you haven't add it into your security group if you using cloud platform.
just to make sure you can create a pod and access it using fqdn like my-svc.my-namespace.svc.cluster-domain.example
