Hi,
I am trying to host MySQL containers inside OpenShift. The goal would be
that projects could connect to a given container, setup a database for
themselves remotely and execute their integration tests.
The first question could be: is this something OpenShift could be used
for or not?
For my installation I created a project with a single MySQL app
(mysql:latest).
On the server, I can connect to the database via TCP (--protocol=tcp):
* via the IP of the pod
* via the IP of the service (that was auto created for me)
Of course the goal would be to access the database from our corporate
network.
After digesting many threads on Stackoverflow, especially [1] and [2] I
think the conclusion is that only port 80/443/8000/8443 could be
accessed externally.
I know of services, routes and port-forwarding, but probably I did not
yet understand when they should be used.
I can use port-forwarding to map 3306 to a local port, then I access the
database via "-h localhost".
I0302 09:20:01.133388 9195 portforward.go:213] Forwarding from
127.0.0.1:49220 <http://127.0.0.1:49220> -> 3306
I0302 09:20:01.133516 9195 portforward.go:213] Forwarding from
[::1]:49220 -> 3306
But I assume I cannot use this to expose the port because of what I have
found in [1] and [2].
Routes I learned could be used to match a path, but I think that is
better used for HTTP services.
Frankly I did not yet understand the role of a Router in this context.
Could someone please let me know if it is possible to do what I want or
not? RTFM is perfect for me, provided I can see a specific example for
exposing a TCP port somehow. It is possible the solution is there but I
did not realize.
I am using Origin: 1.1.3.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
