I have been able to debug a standalone Docker container using these instructions: https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/2020/05/06/debugging-a-go-application-inside-a-docker-container/ I have also been able to debug a Docker container running as a Pod using these instructions https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/2020/05/11/using-kubernetes-from-goland/ Combine with these instructions that explain using the

kubectl port-forward

command: https://itnext.io/debug-a-go-application-in-kubernetes-from-ide-c45ad26d8785 However, I want to do it all in YAML IaC and not have to use

kubectl port-forward

. I tried to add ports to the

<http://k3d.io/v1alpha2|k3d.io/v1alpha2>

API but was not able to get any success. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might be doing wrong? I can package my efforts up as a repo on GitHub it that will help.

Hi @wide-garage-9465 — Thank you for the help. I figured it out. I think I will create a Git repo or at least a Gist showing how to do it, because it took almost 3 days of beating my head against the wall to make it work!

The last thing that I did was expose different ports in

Dockerfile

, but without other things correctly configured that would not work. Hence I need to create a self-contained example that all works, which I need to do for my team anyway since I was researching how to do this.

But seeing the debugger finally work was a glorious feeling!!! 😍

The biggest problem I had to overcome was getting all the ports aligned correctly.
