Hello,

you need to set environment variable: CLUSTER_RESTAPI_HTTPLISTENMULTIADDRESS=/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9094 . Did you read somewhere that the rest api listener would be updated to 0.0.0.0?

It did this in the past, but since everything is controllable with env vars, we don't do it anymore.

Thank you @hsanjuan but, better to handle it from a script like ipfs

[pontiyaraja]

what about proxy and swarm endpoints ?

IPFS does it in a script because it cannot understand env vars. It is much better to do env vars, particularly for any kind of cloud deployment. You can nevertheless replace the entrypoint with whatever script you like. The proxy and swarm endpoints work the same way with env vars: https://cluster.ipfs.io/documentation/reference/configuration/#using-environment-variables-to-overwrite-configuration-values

@hsanjuan I tried it by setting ENV variables

ENV IPFS_CLUSTER_RESTAPI_HTTPLISTENMULTIADDRESS /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9094 ENV IPFS_CLUSTER_IPFSPROXY_LISTENMULTIADDRESS /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9095

still its failing to connect

I'm suing Kubernetes node port service type

@hsanjuan why that environment variable not set in docker https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/blob/master/Dockerfile

[hsanjuan]

Please ask in discuss.ipfs.io. This is not an issue with the codebase and I tried myself and things work as expected with Docker -e 'envname=value and -p 9094:9094. I don't know much about Kubernetes myself so I can't help there.

its not a discussion @hsanjuan
