kf proxy

Name

kf proxy - Start a local reverse proxy to an App.

Synopsis

kf proxy APP_NAME [flags]

Description

Proxy creates a reverse HTTP proxy to the cluster's gateway on a local port opened on the operating system's loopback device.

The proxy rewrites all HTTP requests, changing the HTTP Host header and adding an additional header X-Kf-App to ensure traffic reaches the specified App even if multiple are attached to the same route.

Proxy does not establish a direct connection to the App.

For proxy to work:

  • The cluster's gateway must be accessible from your local machine.
  • The App must have a public URL

If you need to establish a direct connection to an App, use the port-forward command in kubectl. It establishes a proxied connection directly to a port on a pod via the Kubernetes cluster. port-forward bypasses all routing.
