# Connecting to applications: kubectl proxy and apiserver proxy
|
|
|
|
You have seen the [basics](accessing-the-cluster.html) about `kubectl proxy` and `apiserver proxy`. This guide shows how to use them together to access a service([kube-ui](ui.html)) running on the Kubernetes cluster from your workstation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting the apiserver proxy URL of kube-ui
|
|
|
|
kube-ui is deployed as a cluster add-on. To find its apiserver proxy URL,
|
|
|
|
{% highlight console %}
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
$ kubectl cluster-info | grep "KubeUI"
|
|
KubeUI is running at https://173.255.119.104/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
|
|
if this command does not find the URL, try the steps [here](ui.html#accessing-the-ui).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Connecting to the kube-ui service from your local workstation
|
|
|
|
The above proxy URL is an access to the kube-ui service provided by the apiserver. To access it, you still need to authenticate to the apiserver. `kubectl proxy` can handle the authentication.
|
|
|
|
{% highlight console %}
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
$ kubectl proxy --port=8001
|
|
Starting to serve on localhost:8001
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
|
|
Now you can access the kube-ui service on your local workstation at [http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui](http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui)
