Connection

If you are exposing your cluster publicly (e.g. via a load balancer), you can connect to it using the pachctl connect command. This command will configure your local pachctl to connect to your cluster.

1. Open a terminal.
2. Retrieve the external IP address of your load balancer or your domain name.

   kubectl get services | grep pachyderm-proxy | awk '{print $4}'

   
3. Update the context of your cluster using the IP address.

   pachctl connect https://pachyderm.<your-proxy.host-value>

   
4. Verify you are using the correct context.

   pachctl config get active-context

   
5. Verify you can connect to your cluster by printing the PachD version.

   pachctl version
