In this guide, we will show you an example of creating external access to an HTML page in a cluster. ## Getting started {#before-begin} 1. If the project does not exist yet, create it: `kubectl create namespace `. 1. Select a lin for external access, e.g., `test.`. You can get the cluster domain using `kubectl get platformenvironments main -o jsonpath='{.status.clusterDomain}'`, if required. ## How to create external access {#how-to} ### Step 1: Create an ingress resource {#create-ingress} 1. Create a file of the `Ingress` resource, e.g., using the `touch ingress.yaml` command. 1. Open the file and paste the configuration below into it: ```yaml apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: annotations: cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: stackland-default name: test-stackland-ingress namespace: spec: ingressClassName: stackland-default rules: - host: http: paths: - backend: service: name: test-stackland-service port: number: 5556 path: / pathType: Prefix tls: - hosts: - secretName: test-stackland-tls ``` 1. Provide the following in the parameter: * `metadata.namespace`: Project name. * `spec.rules[0].host`: External access link. * `spec.tls[0].hosts[0]`: External access link. 1. Apply the `kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml` manifest. ### Step 2: Create an HTML page {#create-HTML} 1. Create a file of the `ConfigMap` resource, e.g., using the `touch configmap.yaml` command. 1. Open the file and paste the configuration below into it: ```yaml apiVersion: v1 data: index.html: "\n\n\n Stackland test\n \n\n\n

Stackland external access test

This page is used to test external access to Stackland

\n\n\n" kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: test-stackland-html namespace: ``` 1. Provide the project name in the `metadata.namespace` parameter. 1. Apply the manifest: `kubectl apply -f configmap.yaml`. ### Step 3: Create a deployment resource for the HTML page {#create-deployment} 1. Create a file of the `Deployment` resource, e.g., using the `touch deployment.yaml` command. 1. Open the file and paste the configuration below into it: ```yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: test-stackland namespace: spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app: test-stackland-service template: metadata: labels: app: test-stackland-service spec: containers: - image: nginx:alpine name: nginx ports: - containerPort: 80 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html name: html volumes: - configMap: name: test-stackland-html name: html ``` 1. Provide the project name in the `metadata.namespace` parameter. 1. Apply the manifest: `kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml`. ### Step 4: Create a service resource for the HTML page {#create-service} 1. Create a file of the `Service` resource, e.g., using the `touch service.yaml` command. 1. Open the file and paste the configuration below into it: ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: test-stackland-service namespace: spec: ports: - port: 5556 targetPort: 80 selector: app: test-stackland-service ``` 1. Provide the project name in the `metadata.namespace` parameter. 1. Apply the manifest: `kubectl apply -f service.yaml`. ### Step 5: Test access {#check-access} Use your web browser to open the external access link you selected. You should see the test HTML page there.
