Ensure that the server is correctly installed in your Kubernetes environment. See Installing the server in a Kubernetes cluster

About this task

The output of the helm status <releaseName> -n <namespace> command provides commands that contain the URL of your server.

  1. Run the commands to obtain the server's URL:

    $ helm status deploy80011155303 -n deploy80011155303
    Where, deploy80011155303 is the <releaseName> and <namespace>.

    The following output message is displayed and shows the application availability at the echo command:

    NAME: deploy80011155303
LAST DEPLOYED: Wed May 17 20:08:45 2023
NAMESPACE: deploy80011155303
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
It may take a few minutes for the LoadBalancer IP to be assigned. You can watch the status by running:
  kubectl get svc -n deploy80011155303 deploy80011155303-hcl-deploy-server-prod -w

Once the IP is assigned the application will be available at:
  echo https://$(kubectl get svc -n deploy80011155303 deploy80011155303-hcl-deploy-server-prod -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}'):8443
    Note:

    To function correctly, you must set the Deploy server to External Agent URL and External User URL.

    These settings are based on the LoadBalancer IP shown in the output message. You can update the settings from the Deployserver admin interface on the System Settings tab. Click Settings > System Settings.

  2. Run the echo command displayed in the output message to identify the URL to use to access the Deploy server:

    $ echo https://$(kubectl get svc -n deploy80011155303 deploy80011155303-hcl-deploy-server-prod -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}'):8443

    The output of the command displays the server URL:

    https://x.x.x178:8443

You can access the Deploy server by using the URL output of the echo command.
