From The Kubernetes Crash Course - I can't reach a Service with it's URL

Hello Everyone, please I need help with the last section of the K8s Crash course where we deployed a Voting App. I have the voting-app-pod running locally on Docker Desktop and the voting-service has also been created but I can’t access it on the web via it’s IP address (10.106.130.206:30004). Please, how can I resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for any help.

If you use the docker driver for minikube, then you may need to a bit extra to access the port, since the docker driver does not handle networking very well. This page explains the work-around.

Hello @rob_kodekloud, thanks a lot for your response. I’ve solved the issue by accessing the app through http://localhost:30004 instead of this IP - 10.106.130.206:30004. I replaced the service IP with localhost since I’m running it locally on my machine. Thanks a lot for your help, Merry Christmas!
