<p>If I am trying to reach my app using api proxy, by requesting
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods/firstkube-deployment-6778f8d74-qhgz2/proxy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods/firstkube-deployment-6778f8d74-qhgz2/proxy/</a>
I am able to get response back, the application is app and running.</p>
<p>I have tried the proposed solution from this post
<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50178696/access-a-kubernetes-service-running-locally-in-docker-for-desktop">Access a Kubernetes Service running locally in Docker For Desktop?</a>
It doesn't help.</p>
<p>Providing also pods info</p>

<p>Few pointers to debug the issue</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The service has got <code>10.1.0.7:8080</code> in the <code>Endpoints</code> but the pod IP is <code>10.1.0.4</code>. Check if there is another pod with same label <code>app=firstkube-deployment</code></p>
</li>
<li><p>Check if you are able to access the pod directly by it's IP and port from another pod in the cluster. If that does  not work then check if the application inside the pod is listening in <code>0.0.0.0</code> instead of <code>127.0.0.1</code>. Also check if the pod is listening on <code>8080</code> or some other port.</p>
</li>
</ol>
