Chapter 1. Accessing the Skupper console

By default, the Skupper console is available whenever you create a service network router and is protected by credentials available in the skupper-console-users secret.

Procedure

  1. Determine the Skupper console URL using the skupper CLI, for example:

    $ skupper status
    Skupper is enabled for namespace "west" in interior mode. It is not connected to any other sites. It has no exposed services.
    The site console url is:  https://skupper-west.apps-crc.testing
  2. Browse to the Skupper console URL. The credential prompt depends on how the site was created using skupper init:

    • using the --console-auth unsecured option, you are not prompted for credentials.
    • using the --console-auth openshift option, you are prompted to enter OpenShift cluster credentials.
    • using the default or --console-user <user> --console-password <password> options, you are prompted to enter those credentials.
  3. If you created the site using default settings, that is skupper init, a random password is generated for the admin user. To retrieve the password the admin user:

    $ kubectl get secret skupper-console-users -o jsonpath={.data.admin} | base64 -d
