Expose svc of application-server, access application-server

kubectl port-forward svc/chirpstack-as 8080:8080 --address 0.0.0.0

Set network-server on application-server

You can set chirpstack-ns.{namespace}:8000orchirpstack-ns.{namespace}.svc.cluster.local:8000

Here {namespace} is replaced with the real namespace

If you use the gateway-bridge component, you can use the following command to expose svc

kubectl expose deploy gateway-bridge --port 1700 --target-port=1700 --protocol=UDP --name udpservice --type=NodePort  

to sum up

So far, ChirpStack has been deployed on K8S. The default service is to create SVC but not further exposed. The specific exposure method is currently for users to choose. After the AS port is exposed, the AS can be accessed. The same is true for MQTT service and gateway-bridge service. Data needs to be uploaded to the server and the service needs to be exposed.
