Port Forwarding via CLI?

[nickmitricka]

I'm new to Rancher-Desktop and trying to understand capabilities. I know there is the GUI way to setup port forwarding, but are there any command line tools (rdctl or limactl) that will allow me to update the port forwarding configuration?

[Rocketchat23]

There is a configuration for that

There is no CLI mechanism to modify the port-forwarding of cluster-internal ports right now.

Note that all NodePorts are automatically forwarded to the host already, so configuring this for ingress should not be necessary; the UI is only needed if you want to e.g. access a service that is otherwise not exposed outside the cluster.

@jandubois - Yes, the item is not currently exposed outside of the cluster. Is the CLI mechanism on the roadmap?

[jandubois]

Not explicitly, afaict, so please file an enhancement request for it!

[segevfiner]

Did you open an issue for this?

[jandubois]

There is #4171 now, which partially covers it. Once there is an API, it would be accessible via rdctl api .... As a second step there should probably be a user-level command for it too, but that too will require the API to be in place first.
