Help adding a remote cluster (minikube)

[mickahell]

What would you like to be added:

Hello everyone, very similar to #5385 I have a remote minikube, and I follow this tutorial to be able to access it from local:
https://medium.com/@bsatnam98/access-minikube-cluster-from-another-device-within-the-same-network-9bbd3f06451

I can access the Kubernes api using curl minikube:password@ip:443, and kubectl from terminal works just fine.
However, I can't get Lens working.

I have the latest version of Lens.

When I run on debug I have this error :

info:    ┏ [INTERNAL-PROXY-MAIN]: Connection Update +80ms
info:    ┗ [1] { update: 'Authentication proxy started', clusterId: '7e61cb033a7c2904df8e2e0f1d87b7d5' }

error:   ┃ [3]   clusterId: '7e61cb033a7c2904df8e2e0f1d87b7d5'
error:   ┗ [4] }

I don't find anything about how pass this error :/

Here my nginx file :

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
  server_tokens off;
  auth_basic "Administrator’s Area";
  auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
  server {
    listen 443;
    server_name minikube;
    location / {
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header Host            $http_host;
      proxy_pass https://minikube:8443;
      proxy_ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/minikube-client.crt;
      proxy_ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/minikube-client.key;
    }
  }
}

Why is this needed:

Environment you are Lens application on:

• Kubernetes distribution: minikube
• Desktop OS: MacOS

Thanks for your help :)

Hello @mickahell , Thank you for reaching out! I have contacted our development team regarding your issue .

Can you see if the request is reaching nginx? If not, that HTML response is probably coming from Lens for some reason.

I don't know, here the entire logs from Lens when I tried to connect it :

I'm guessing the request reach well nginx as the cmd kubectl are working from terminal

[panuhorsmalahti]

Can you look at the logs of the nginx container to see if the request reaches it?
