socat-tunneller

A port-forward proxy. Allows an onward connection from the cluster to some other host in your cluster's network, eg your hosted database/cache/other service.

In practice, this means that a hosted service can be made available only to the cluster, then cluster users can be granted access by giving them permission to run port-forward on the tunneller.

Basic usage

helm install stable/socat-tunneller --name db-tunneller --set tunnel.host=mydbhost.cloud --set tunnel.port=3306 --set nameOverride=db-tunneller

then

kubectl port-forward svc/db-tunneller 13306:3306

then, for eg

mysql -u myuser -h 127.0.0.1 --port 13306 -p
