Hello, quick question regarding Rancher-Desktop on Ubuntu, how is it possible to access the services without port-forward. In WSL2, it is straight forward, but for some reason same concept doesn't work here.

Thing is that under Linux ports bellow 1024 are priviledged by default so RD is unable to route traffic to these services running on these low ports - for eg traefik ingress and other services have to be exposed and accessed over NodePort service type (random port range between 30000-32767).

Hi Tomas,

You may run

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=443

and then you should be able access ingress and other services too directly on https://localhost:443 or on the ports they are running on (but not bellow 443)

Even with NodePort, it didnt work. i had to port forward from RD App preference

Hi, let me try the NodePort way

yes, tried that as well

Hmm, NodePort way works for me on Ubuntu 20.04 and RD 1.5

let me try to reinstall the whole thing

this is what I did:

kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx  --port=80 --replicas=1
kubectl expose deployment nginx --type=NodePort --port=80
kubectl get svc nginx -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}'
> 30449
wget <http://localhost:30449>
