Access Hedera Services

Access Hedera Network Services

⚠️ Warning This document is out of date for the current release. See Step-by-step Guide for the updated base commands to run that can be augmented with the extra flags and values provided in this guide. Hedera services and Platform SDK have moved to hiero-consensus-node repo https://github.com/hiero-ledger/hiero-consensus-node

Once the nodes are up, you may now expose various services (using k9s (shift-f) or kubectl port-forward) and access. Below are most used services that you may expose.

Node services: network-<node ID>-svc

HAProxy: haproxy-<node ID>-svc

# enable portforwarding for haproxy
# node1 grpc port accessed by localhost:50211
kubectl port-forward svc/haproxy-node1-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 50211:50211 &
# node2 grpc port accessed by localhost:51211
kubectl port-forward svc/haproxy-node2-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 51211:50211 &
# node3 grpc port accessed by localhost:52211
kubectl port-forward svc/haproxy-node3-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 52211:50211 &

Envoy Proxy: envoy-proxy-<node ID>-svc

# enable portforwarding for envoy proxy
kubectl port-forward svc/envoy-proxy-node1-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 8181:8080 &
kubectl port-forward svc/envoy-proxy-node2-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 8281:8080 &
kubectl port-forward svc/envoy-proxy-node3-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 8381:8080 &

Hedera explorer: solo-deployment-hedera-explorer

#enable portforwarding for hedera explorer, can be access at http://localhost:8080/
kubectl port-forward svc/hedera-explorer -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 8080:80 &

JSON Rpc Relays

You can deploy JSON RPC relays for one or more nodes as below:

# deploy relay node first
solo relay deploy -i node1

# enable relay for node1
kubectl port-forward svc/relay-node1-hedera-json-rpc-relay -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 7546:7546 &
