access dashboard from external

[dstoeckm@cisco.com]

When I start the dashboard with "./smm dashboard " I can reach the service only local.

opening Service Mesh Manager at http://127.0.0.1:50500

how do I export that to external web browser on a diff workload?

Hello dstoeckm@cisco.com,

Please see the section Exposing the Dashboard, from the SMM/Calisti docs:

It's not guaranteed way from document ,

but if you want to connect calisti via server IP from your laptop (not 127.0.0.1 from master node console) you can use Server Iptable forwarding method.
( It's not nodeport expose. it's server base ip forwarding. so it works only master server ip)

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens160 -p tcp --dport 30080 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:50500

ens160 is user server nic interface. 30080 is your choice for open port.

now you can connect http://serverip:30080
