### hostNetwork Direct Access Design
|
This example uses a **single-file approach** with integrated components:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
1. **Deployment** - Pod with nginx and custom content
|
||||||
🌍 Internet (Mycelium Clients)
|
2. **ConfigMaps** - HTML content and nginx configuration
|
||||||
↓
|
3. **Service** - NodePort for external accessibility
|
||||||
🌐 Mycelium IPv6 Network (Port 80)
|

|
||||||
🖥️ hostNetwork Pod (direct IPv6 interface binding)
|
|
||||||
↓
|
|
||||||
📊 Custom Website Content (ConfigMap-managed)
|
|
||||||
↓
|
|
||||||
🔄 nginx Web Server (custom content, health endpoints)
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Key Features
|
**Network Flow:** `Direct IPv6 → nginx:8080 → Custom HTML`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### **Kubernetes Deployment with hostNetwork**
|
**Key Innovation:** Uses `hostNetwork: true` for direct access to Mycelium IPv6 interfaces.

|
||||||
#### **Dynamic IPv6 Discovery**
|
mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
|
||||||
The `update-content.sh` script automatically discovers Mycelium IPv6 addresses from your cluster:
|
- name: nginx-config
|
||||||
|
mountPath: /etc/nginx/conf.d
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
# Run the script to update content with current IPv6 addresses
|
|
||||||
./update-content.sh
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# The script will:
|
|
||||||
# 1. Query kubectl for cluster node IPv6 addresses
|
|
||||||
# 2. Generate HTML with dynamic address discovery
|
|
||||||
# 3. Update the ConfigMap automatically
|
|
||||||
# 4. Show website content with current cluster state
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### **Custom Website Content**
|
|
||||||
The deployment includes a professional website with:
|
|
||||||
- Modern HTML design with Mycelium Cloud branding
|
|
||||||
- Responsive layout with gradient backgrounds
|
|
||||||
- Interactive IPv6 address detection
|
|
||||||
- Real-time timestamp updates
|
|
||||||
- Professional web interface
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### **Content Management**
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 🌟 Direct IPv6 Access Benefits
|
**What it does:**
|
||||||
|
- Creates 1 pod with nginx and custom website content
|
||||||
|
- Uses `hostNetwork: true` for direct IPv6 interface access
|
||||||
|
- Includes ConfigMaps for dynamic content management
|
||||||
|
- Dual-stack nginx (IPv4 + IPv6) configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Direct Interface Binding**
|
## 🌐 Access Methods
|
||||||
- **hostNetwork: true**: Pod directly binds to host network interface
|
|
||||||
- **IPv6 Address Access**: Gets Mycelium IPv6 address from host node
|
|
||||||
- **Simplified Architecture**: No service layer needed for IPv6 access
|
|
||||||
- **Direct Connectivity**: External clients connect directly to pod
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Performance Advantages**
|
### Method 1: Direct IPv6 (Primary - Recommended)
|
||||||
- **Zero Latency**: Direct interface binding, no service proxy overhead
|
|
||||||
- **Full IPv6 Support**: Direct access to Mycelium IPv6 addresses
|
|
||||||
- **Simple Deployment**: Single pod with hostNetwork configuration
|
|
||||||
- **Production Ready**: Standard nginx configuration with health endpoints
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Global Accessibility**
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
```bash
|
||||||
# Access directly via any Mycelium IPv6 address
|
# Get your pod's IPv6 address
|
||||||
curl http://[552:5984:2d97:72dc:ff0f:39ef:6ec:a48c]:80
|
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l app=mycelium-website -o name | head -1)
|
||||||
|
IPV6=$(kubectl exec $POD_NAME -- ip addr show | grep "476:\|51d:\|552:" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d'/' -f1)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Access your website
|
||||||
|
curl -6 "http://[$IPV6]:8080/"
|
||||||
|
curl -6 "http://[$IPV6]:8080/health"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Or in browser: http://[YOUR-IPV6]:8080/
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 🔧 Testing & Verification
|
**Why this works:**
|
||||||
|
- `hostNetwork: true` gives direct access to host IPv6 interfaces
|
||||||
|
- nginx listens on both IPv4 and IPv6
|
||||||
|
- Mycelium provides globally routable IPv6 addresses
|
||||||
|
- No port translation or proxy needed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Method 2: Health Check Verification

|
curl -6 "http://[YOUR-IPV6]:8080/health"
|
||||||
|
# Expected: "healthy"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Expected output shows successful connection:
|
# Test main page (should return 3975+ bytes)

|
curl -6 "http://[YOUR-IPV6]:8080/" | wc -c
|
||||||
# < HTTP/1.1 200 OK (or 404 if serving default content)
|
# Expected: 3975 (or similar large number)
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## 🎯 Best Practices
|
## 🛠️ Common Operations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Deployment Strategy**
|
### Updating Website Content
|
||||||
1. **Start Small**: Deploy 1 replica initially
|
|
||||||
2. **Test Connectivity**: Verify IPv6 access works
|
|
||||||
3. **Scale Gradually**: Increase replicas based on traffic
|
|
||||||
4. **Monitor Performance**: Watch resource usage and response times
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Content Management**
|
|
||||||
- **Static Files**: Update `index.html` for content changes
|
|
||||||
- **Volume Mounts**: Use ConfigMaps for dynamic content
|
|
||||||
- **Health Checks**: Implement proper liveness/readiness probes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Security Considerations**
|
|
||||||
- **No Authentication**: Open access for demonstration purposes
|
|
||||||
- **Rate Limiting**: Consider adding nginx rate limiting for production
|
|
||||||
- **HTTPS**: Use TF Gateway CRDs for SSL certificates
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 🚀 Advanced Features
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Custom Content**
|
|
||||||
Replace the `index.html` with your own content:
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
```bash
|
||||||
# Update content
|
# Update the ConfigMap with new HTML content
|
||||||
kubectl create configmap nginx-content --from-file=index.html=custom.html
|
kubectl create configmap mycelium-website-content \
|
||||||
|
--from-file=index.html=./new-website.html \
|
||||||
|
--dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Rollout update
|
# Restart pod to pick up changes
|
||||||
kubectl rollout restart deployment/nginx-mycelium
|
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l app=mycelium-website -o name | head -1)
|
||||||
|
kubectl delete pod $POD_NAME
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **Additional Services**
|
### Scaling
|
||||||
Add more services following the same pattern:
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
```bash
|
||||||
# Apply additional nginx services
|
# Scale to 2 replicas (each gets different IPv6)
|
||||||
kubectl apply -f additional-services.yaml
|
kubectl scale deployment mycelium-website --replicas=2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Each service gets its own LoadBalancer with IPv6
|
# Check distribution across nodes
|
||||||
|
kubectl get pods -o wide -l app=mycelium-website
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### **TF Gateway Integration**
|
### Monitoring
|
||||||
For custom domains and HTTPS:
|
```bash
|
||||||
```yaml
|
# View nginx logs
|
||||||
# Use TF Gateway CRD for public domain
|
kubectl logs -f deployment/mycelium-website
|
||||||
apiVersion: ingress.grid.tf/v1
|
|
||||||
kind: TFGW
|
# Check resource usage
|
||||||
|
kubectl top pod -l app=mycelium-website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Monitor IPv6 addresses
|
||||||
|
watch 'kubectl get pods -o wide -l app=mycelium-website'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### IPv6 Address Discovery
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Get all IPv6 addresses for the website pod
|
||||||
|
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l app=mycelium-website -o name | head -1)
|
||||||
|
kubectl exec $POD_NAME -- ip addr show | grep "inet6" | grep "scope global"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Test multiple IPv6 addresses
|
||||||
|
for ipv6 in $(kubectl exec $POD_NAME -- ip addr show | grep "476:\|51d:\|552:" | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d'/' -f1); do
|
||||||
|
echo "Testing IPv6: $ipv6"
|
||||||
|
curl -6 -m 2 "http://[$ipv6]:8080/health" && echo " - SUCCESS" || echo " - FAILED"
|
||||||
|
done
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🧹 Cleanup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you're done testing:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Delete the entire deployment
|
||||||
|
kubectl delete -f mycelium-website-nodeport.yaml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Verify cleanup
|
||||||
|
kubectl get all -l app=mycelium-website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Remove any lingering ConfigMaps (optional)
|
||||||
|
kubectl delete configmap mycelium-website-content mycelium-nginx-config
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
