Test Rok Registry

This section will guide you through testing access to Rok Registry, so that you make sure you have installed it properly.

What You’ll Need

• A configured management environment.
• Your clone of the Arrikto GitOps repository.
• An existing Rok Registry deployment.
• A configured Rok Registry default account named user.

Procedure

1. Expose Istio’s IngressGateway with kubectl port-forward:

   

   root@rok-tools:~# kubectl port-forward --address 0.0.0.0 -n istio-system service/istio-ingressgateway 8080:80

   Important

   If you are running rok-tools as a Kubernetes Statefulset you will need a double kubectl port-forward to also forward traffic from your local host to the rok-tools Kubernetes Service:

   

   user@workstation:~$ kubectl port-forward services/rok-tools 8080:8080

2. Visit the login page of Rok Registry at http://127.0.0.1:8080/registry. You will be immediately redirected to the Rok Registry login page.

   Air Gapped

   Use dynamic port forwarding along with SOCKS5 protocol in your browser.

3. Login as user@example.com with the password you created when setting up the default user.

You have successfully tested access to Rok Registry.
