How is my network dns supposed to resolve these? Do I point the nip.io domain at the cluster?
c
you don’t point it at anything. the IP address is right there in the hostname
go to https://nip.io/ and read about what it is actually doing for you
nip.io maps
<anything>[.-]<IP Address>.<http://nip.io|nip.io>
in “dot”, “dash” or “hexadecimal” notation to the corresponding
<IP Address>
:
b
ahh ok
I assumed as I got this error it had some dns issues but as you say, I probably need to read more about nip.io
c
It’s hard to know what “cant find the server” means. that address definitely resolves to the correct IP, but perhaps Safari means that it can’t connect to it?
I would test with curl or something else less likely to hide the actual error message from you

ok, so my router is on 192.168.1.1 and I can access it at http://192.168.1.1 so are you saying I should be able to reach it internally at http://192.168.1.1.nip.io ?
[mike@k1 /]$ curl <http://192.168.1.1.nip.io>
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 192.168.1.1.nip.io [mike@k1 /]$
I am guessing my internal firewall and DNS, which is OPNsense is blocking this
I can look in to that next 🙂
c
do you maybe have a pihole or something that’s blocking it?
b
no, i beleive my firewall is using something called Unbind DNS
maybe thats blocking it or such
Ok, that fixed it, if I set a dns forward for nip.io to google dns 🙂
wow, what a crazy work around
