Workflow Example#

bash

#!/bin/bash
# Access remote HTTP API

pilotctl --json daemon start
pilotctl --json find api-server
pilotctl --json gateway start
pilotctl --json gateway map api-server 192.168.100.50

# Access remote service
curl http://192.168.100.50/api/v1/status
curl http://192.168.100.50:8080/metrics

Port Mapping#

Gateway forwards common HTTP ports:

• Port 80 (HTTP)
• Port 443 (HTTPS)
• Port 8080 (alternative HTTP)
