Kubernetes Basics interactive tutorial module 3 - problem

General Discussions

Dear Community,

I am trying to execute the interactive kubernetes tutorial on my own machine. I am running archlinux with minikube version v1.16.0
kubectl is running and till this point everything from the tutorial modules 1, 2 and 3 (until this point did run without problems

when I now execute

curl http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods/$POD_NAME/proxy/

I get

{
  "kind": "Status",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "metadata": {
    
  },
  "status": "Failure",
  "message": "error trying to reach service: dial tcp 172.17.0.3:80: connect: connection refused",
  "code": 500
}

Maybe for you the error is obvious maybe you need more information, I am not sure which information you like. But telling you that I did exactly all the steps from the tutorial and that all before have worked as described in the tutorial should provide a good idea to what the cause of the failure is I think.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Can you link the tutorial?

Of course, sorry - it is the official tutorial provided by kubernetes.io :
Interactive Tutorial - Exploring Your App | Kubernetes

It looks like its broken slightly, but I don’t think we (kubernetes) manage the katacoda tutorials.

In terminal 2, you can click the text to launch it or just type kubectl proxy then go back to terminal 1 and it should work.
