connect glooctl to gloo service running in Docker

[eddiechihyi]

I am new to Gloo & Sqoop but very interested in seeing them working in action. However, I am having trouble to get them both working in my corp environment.

1. I was able to get the gloo running in Docker following below documentation
   https://gloo.solo.io/installation/docker-compose/

However, glooctl can't talk to the docker container and giving me below error. I don't know if there's any configuration for me to point glooctl to the correct IP/Port of the services inside docker container.

==> glooctl proxy url Error: could not detect 'gateway-proxy' service in gloo-system namespace. Check that Gloo has been installed properly and is running with 'kubectl get pod -n gloo-system': Get https://192.168.99.105:8443/api/v1/namespaces/gloo-system/services/gateway-proxy: dial tcp 192.168.99.105:8443: i/o timeout

2. I can't install Kubernetes inside corp network. and it seems sqoop no longer support Docker installation anymore. All the previous document links result in 404. I am trying to see if there's anyway I can run sqoopctl to connect to the gloo services installed in Docker.

Appreciated if anyone can shed some lights in order for me to move forward.

hey @eddiechihyi !
currently our docker compose support is limited for Gloo (supported by gloo but not glooctl - interacting with gloo will require writing yaml files by hand) and nonexistent for Sqoop, sorry! 🙁

it's possible to get them both running using docker compose if that's a hard requirement, but by far the easiest way will be using minikube, k3s, kubernetes-in-docker, or one of the many other kube solutions available.

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, it's quite challenging for me to run the Minikube inside corp firewall given various networking issue.

Like you suggested, I was able to get sqoop service running as part of the Docker-compose yaml. Now I just can't have the glooctl to connect. I was also able to manually modify the /data folder to play a bit but can't really register any resolverMap to connect sqoop and gloo to test the graphQL query.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I will be watching and come back some other time.

Regards,
Eddie
