<p>I'm new to kubernetes and I'm trying to deploy a MEAN stack app with Gitlab pipelines to Kubernetes Engine in Google Cloud. However I just can't get it to let me connect to a pod running my code on an open port (4200). You can find my YAML configs below.
<strong>Dockerfile</strong></p>

<pre><code>FROM node:13.13-alpine
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
COPY . /usr/src/app

EXPOSE 3000 4200
CMD ["npm","run-script","start"]
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Gitlab-ci.yml</strong></p>

<pre><code>deploy service:

<p><strong>docker-compose-stack.yml</strong></p>

<p>Running <strong>kubectl get svc --all-namespaces</strong> gets me the following output:</p>

</code></pre>

<p>Any ideas? Thanks.</p>

<p>You application is listening on localhost, while your load balancer forwards the traffic to the ethernet network interface.</p>

<p>You will need to change your app and make it serve on <code>0.0.0.0</code>.</p>
