kube-arangodb: Can not connect with `arangosh`

Question

I am using arango-single-server on minikube. Installed using kubectl by following: https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/tutorials-kubernetes.html

Following the error message:

➜ kubectl exec -it arango-single-server-sngl-d0leq3in-d9649f -- arangosh --server.endpoint "tcp://localhost:8529" --server.database "_system" 
Defaulted container "server" out of: server, init-lifecycle (init), uuid (init)

Any idea, what is the issue?

I can access the gui interface.

Answer 1

It works by putting --server.endpoint "https://localhost:8529" or --server.endpoint "http+ssl://localhost:8529" instead of --server.endpoint "tcp://localhost:8529"
