Cluster information:

Minikube version: v1.11.0
Host OS: Ubuntu 20.04

I’m trying to install Grafana in a minikube local cluster with minikube 1.13.0

Here is the whole process:

minikube start # this step is OK

I deploy Grafana with:

kubectl config use-context minikube
kubectl create namespace monitoring --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl create secret generic grafana-env --from-env-file=.env.local --namespace=monitoring --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl apply -f deployment/local/grafana-pvc.yml
kubectl apply -f deployment/local/grafana-secret.yml
kubectl apply -f deployment/local/grafana-deployment.yml
kubectl apply -f deployment/local/grafana-svc.yml
kubectl apply -f deployment/local/grafana-ingress-local.yml

Service :

  ports:
    - port: 3000
  selector:
    app: grafana-local
    component: core

And Ingress:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: grafana-ingress
  namespace: monitoring
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
spec:
  rules:
  - host: grafana.local
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
         serviceName: grafana-local
         servicePort: 3000

I also added a grafana.local entry in /etc/hosts to link it to 127.0.0.1

Pod, service, and ingress are deployed successfully, I see no errors.

But when I try to access it through chrome, I get a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.

It is important to say that before, I was starting minikube with the none driver, and it was working well:

sudo minikube start --vm-driver none

Also, when I do:

minikube dashboard

I can access the dashboard with no problem.

Also, if I do:

kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/grafana-local 3000

I will be able to access Grafana on http://127.0.0.1:3000.

but isn’t it the same thing than

      ports:
        - port: 3000

What am my missing ?
