Port forwarding - mogenius Documentation

Use the CLI to create TCP tunnels to Kubernetes workloads:

mocli port-forward -n <namespace> -k <kind> -w <workload-name> -p <local>:<remote>

Supported resource kinds: Pod, Service, Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet

Examples

# Forward to a Service
mocli port-forward -n production -k Service -w postgres -p 5432:5432

# Forward to a Deployment
mocli port-forward -n staging -k Deployment -w api-server -p 8080:8080

# Forward to a specific Pod
mocli port-forward -n default -k Pod -w my-pod-abc123 -p 3000:3000

Flags

Flag	Description
`-n, --namespace`	Kubernetes namespace (required)
`-k, --kind`	Resource kind (required)
`-w, --name`	Workload name (required)
`-p, --port`	Port mapping `LOCAL:REMOTE` (required)

The tunnel remains active while the CLI process runs. Press Ctrl+C to terminate.

On a mogenius platform connection, port-forwards are tunnelled through the platform with full RBAC enforcement and can be exposed as public tunnel URLs. On a direct kubeconfig connection, forwards are local only. See Tunnels.
