Set up Custom Context Root

This topic illustrates on how to set up the custom context root on the Deploy. We can change the setup of the default context root / to the custom one, for example here: /xld-root.

How to Set up Custom Context Root​

  1. Update the Deploy CR yaml file by running the following command:
kubectl patch -n digitalai digitalaideploys.xld.digital.ai dai-xld \
  --type=merge --patch '{"spec": {"appContextRoot": "/xld-root"}}'

Note: The custom context root must start with /.

  1. To apply the changes, restart the Deploy pods.
kubectl delete sts dai-xld-digitalai-deploy-master -n digitalai
kubectl delete sts dai-xld-digitalai-deploy-worker -n digitalai
  1. The CR yaml file will now have a new appContextRoot value.
kubectl get Digitalaideploys dai-xld -n digitalai -o jsonpath='{.spec.appContextRoot}'
  1. The restarted pod process on master will now use the new context root. To check that run with following command:
kubectl port-forward svc/dai-xld-digitalai-deploy-lb 4516:80 -n digitalai
  1. Login to Deploy with the following URL.
http://localhost:4516/xld-root

Note: In case you are using the ingress, you can access Deploy by using the Ingress hostname.

kubectl get ingress dai-xld-digitalai-deploy -o jsonpath='{.spec.rules[*].host}'

The URL for Ingress will be as follows:

http://$ingressHostname/xld-root
