Red Hat build of MicroShift

Open the firewall for remote access to the MicroShift node

You must open the firewall before a workstation user can access the MicroShift node remotely.

For this procedure, user@microshift is the user on the MicroShift host machine and is responsible for setting up that machine so that it can be accessed by a remote user on a separate workstation.

Prerequisites

You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).
Your account has cluster administration privileges.

Procedure

As user@microshift on the MicroShift host, open the firewall port for the Kubernetes API server (6443/tcp) by running the following command:
```
[user@microshift]$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=6443/tcp && sudo firewall-cmd --reload
```

Verification

As user@microshift, verify that MicroShift is running by entering the following command:

$ oc get pods -A
