<p>I installed mongodb as a replicaset with 3 replicas on my k8s cluster using the bitnami helm chart.</p>
<p>So I get these pods:</p>
<pre><code>mongodb-0.mongodb-headless.mongodb.svc.cluster.local:27017
mongodb-1.mongodb-headless.mongodb.svc.cluster.local:27017
mongodb-2.mongodb-headless.mongodb.svc.cluster.local:27017
</code></pre>
<p>Now I would like to get access using mongodb compass.</p>
<p>I set a port forward (at 27017 I'm running a local mongodb)</p>
<pre><code>kubectl port-forward svc/mongodb-headless -n mongodb 27018:27017
</code></pre>
<p>and tried to connect compass with the uri</p>
<pre><code>mongodb://localhost:27018
</code></pre>
<p>But this gives me the error</p>
<pre><code>getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mongodb-0.mongodb-headless.mongodb.svc.cluster.local
</code></pre>
<p>What am I doing wrong to connect to my k8s cluster mongodb using compass?</p>

<p>to be able to help you pls use that YAMLs and post the outputs. If it does not work probably you should debug your k8s installation</p>
