How to Access Ververica Platform Web UI Remotely

Question

How do I access Ververica Platform Web UI when I cannot start a browser window (e.g., no GUI component installed) on the remote Linux host where I run kubectl port-forward?

Answer

Note: This applies to Ververica Platform 2.0 and later.

First of all, if you can start a browser window on the remote Linux host where you port forward

kubectl port-forward service/vvp-ververica-platform 8080:80

Then, you can access Ververica Platform Web UI from that browser window with URL http://localhost:8080. See Accessing Ververica Platform.

Read on if you cannot start a browser window.

Assuming the remote Linux host where you run kubectl port-forward is LinuxHost, there are two options to access Ververica Platform Web UI.

Option 1: kubectl port-forward with --address

You can use add --address to your kubectl port-forward command:

kubectl port-forward [--namespace namespace] \
    service/vvp-ververica-platform --address LinuxHost 8080:80

Access the Ververica Platform Web UI from your localhost via http://LinuxHost:8080

Option 2: SSH port forwarding

First ssh to the remote Linux host with port forwarding enabled:

ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 LinuxHost

Then, on the remote Linux host:

kubectl port-forward [--namespace namespace] \
  service/vvp-ververica-platform 8080:80

Access the Ververica Platform Web UI from your localhost via http://LinuxHost:8080

For other ways, especially when you do not have privileges to do port forwarding, to access Ververica Platform Web UI, see Accessing Ververica Platform.
