In Chapter 1.Introduction to Kubernetes and Openshift, I am trying to navigate the Openshift webconsole (first Guided exercise), I verify cluster state successfully, run the whoami cmd
but when I try to login the URL
https://console-openshift-console.apps.ocp4.example.com
I always fail, with error: This site can't be reached (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN).
I cleared cache, tried both GC and Firefox browsers, stop/delete/start the lab environment, always fail to open the web console in order proceed to the next exercises.
Please, for your support. Thank you in advance.
Well, that might be something wrong with your workstation VM. My guess is something is eating up some of the memory or disk or CPU as this is working for others. The solution would be deleting your lab environment and restarting, but since you have it tunneled over SSH, that is much easier. Also, tunneling the X11 through SSH in our classroom environments isn't the best or designed for you to work that way ... launching the VNC console on workstation and then launching Firefox is how it is meant to be done.
One other thing you could do since you have SSH is use SSHuttle to make the connection tunnel and force DNS to go over that too and then use your local browser. I won't get into all of how to do that because again, most people do not have even SSH access into the environment and the public IP addresses and SSH access may not be around for much longer.
After restarting the VM, launching firefox from the VNC console on the workstation worked well.
Thanks so much for your help
