如何访问部署在 Kubernetes 集群上的 postgresql

Question

I have deployed postgresql pod on kubernetes pod, and want to know how can I access postgresql gui. I am not able to access it with ingress path, as I got to know ingress are meant for https purpose only whereas postgres follows TCP protocol. Any lead how can I access through GUI?

Ingress API are only for Layer 7 (HTTP). In your case you want to access Layer 4 (TCP).

To achieve you goal, you can:

• Use a Nodeport on your service
• A Ingress Controller that handle TCP like Traefik or Nginx
• for local development, Port Forward
