Astrona port forward start

astrona port-forward start

(Re)start the port forwards of a running kind lab from its config

Synopsis

(Re)start the port forwards declared in the lab config's runtime.portForwards against its already-running kind cluster — e.g. after a reboot or port-forward stop. Any forwards already running for the lab are replaced.

Waits up to 30s for every forward to become Ready. With --wait, a forward that isn't Ready by then makes the command exit non-zero.

astrona port-forward start [flags]

Examples

  astrona port-forward start -c ./labs/my-lab
  astrona pf start -c . --wait

Options

  -h, --help   help for start
      --wait   Exit non-zero if any forward isn't Ready within 30s

Options inherited from parent commands

      --accept-terms      Accept this CLI's usage terms and data-loss risk notice; required on each operational CI command (read: astrona terms)
  -c, --config string     Path or URL to the lab config directory (with --git: a subdirectory within the cloned repo) (default ".")
  -f, --file string       Configuration file name override (default "config.yaml")
      --git string        Git repository URL to clone/pull (https://, git@host:, or ssh://) — --config then selects a subdirectory within it
      --git-ref string    Git branch, tag, or commit to check out (used with --git; default: the repo's default branch)
      --headless          Disable the terminal UI and CLI prompts; run/reset skip login reminders and new account sessions
      --install-version   If the lab needs another astrona release (astronaVersion) that isn't installed, install it without asking — for CI
      --trust             Approve running a remote (--git / URL) lab without asking — for CI; review the lab first
      --update-check      Check for new CLI releases (disabled in CI, without a terminal, or by ASTRONA_NO_UPDATE_CHECK) (default true)
      --verbose           Stream the full output of every underlying command instead of the compact step view
