<p>I have set up a local cluster using microk8s and Kubeflow on my local machine. I followed <a href="https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/started/workstation/getting-started-multipass/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these</a> installation instructions to get my cluster up and running. I have started a Jupyter Server and coded a Kubeflow Pipeline.</p>
<p>My YAML file I have used to define my components shown below:</p>
<pre><code>name: beat_the_market - Preprocess
description:  Preprocesses market data and loads into GCS bucket.
inputs:
- {name: project, type: String, description: GCP Project ID}
- {name: bucket, type: GCSPath, description: GCS bucket path}
- {name: ticker, type: String, description: Ticker symbol for selected stock}

outputs:
- {name: Trained model, type: Tensorflow model}

implementation:
    container:
        image: us.gcr.io/manceps-labs/beat_the_market:latest
        command: [python3, /opt/preprocess.py,
        --project, {inputValue: project},
        --bucket, {inputValue: bucket},
        --ticker, {inputValue: ticker}
        ] 
</code></pre>
<p>Unfortunately when I try to create an experiment using the Kubeflow Pipelines SDK I get the following error:</p>

<p>Note that I did not include all of the retries but I think you get the point. I have tried using the IP provided by <code>microk8s.enable</code> and it gave me a sort-of successful output but all values were <code>None</code> so still not what I want.</p>
<pre><code>client = kfp.Client(host='http://xx.xx.xx.xx.xip.io')
experiment = client.create_experiment('test')
</code></pre>
<pre><code>Experiment link here

{'created_at': None, 'description': None, 'id': None, 'name': None}
</code></pre>
<p>Any help would be much appreciated. Let me know any other output you need to assess properly. Still learning Kubeflow so not sure how to debug and couldn't find much on it in Kubeflow docs, microk8s docs, or other threads. Currently working off of these 2 examples.</p>

<p>Try this:</p>
<pre><code>client = kfp.Client(host='pipelines-api.kubeflow.svc.cluster.local:8888').
</code></pre>
<p>This helped me resolve the  HTTPConnection error</p>
