Is it possible to create a Pod in the Google Container Engine where two ports are exposed: port 8080 is listening for incoming content and port 80 distributes this content to clients?
The following command to create a Pod is given as example by Google:
kubectl run hello-node --image=gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/hello-node --port=8080
I can't seem to define a listening port, and when adding a second "--port=" switch only one port is exposed.
Is there a way to expose a second port or am I limited to one port per container?
No, you cannot specify multiple ports in kubectl run
. But you can use kubectl create
to create a replication controller, and specify multiple ports for the container.
https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/blob/master/cassandra/cassandra-statefulset.yaml has an example:
ports:
- containerPort: 7000
name: intra-node
- containerPort: 7001
name: tls-intra-node
- containerPort: 7199
name: jmx
- containerPort: 9042
name: cql
From the command line, it is possible to specify multiple ports using the --overrides option:
This example exposes both ports 80 and 8080:
export APP_NAME=app-hello
export IMAGE=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
kubectl run $APP_NAME \
--image=$IMAGE \
--overrides='{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"containers": [{"name": "'$APP_NAME'", "image": "'$IMAGE'",
"ports": [{"containerPort": 8080, "protocol": "TCP"}, {"containerPort": 80, "protocol": "TCP"}]}]}}}}'
Kubernetes supports a target port:
kubectl expose deployment example --type=LoadBalancer --port 8080 --target-port 80
You can use --port paramater two times
kubectl run hello-node --image=gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/hello-node --port=8080 --port=8081
