4. Access User Interface

Access The Demo User Interface#

Expose the user interface on port 8080 by port-forwarding:

kubectl -n unguard port-forward svc/unguard-envoy-proxy 8080:8080

Leave this command running. It will appear to hang. That's OK.

Go to the Ports tab, right click the port 8080 and choose Open in Browser.

Bug: Appended port :8080

unguard page not found

You will get a "page cannot be found" error.

Notice the URL looks like this:

https://codespace-name-ID-8080.app.github.dev:8080/ui

The fix

Remove :8080 and refresh.

https://codespace-name-ID-8080.app.github.dev/ui

If you see an "Unauthorized" page, it's working!
