Set up Custom Context Root

This topic illustrates on how to set up the custom context root on the Release. The setup of the default context root / can be changed to a custom one, for example: /xlr-root.

How to Set up Custom Context Root​

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

Note: The custom context root must start with /.

  1. The Release pods are automatically restarted.
  2. The CR yaml file will now have a new appContextRoot value.
kubectl get Digitalaireleases dai-xlr -n digitalai -o jsonpath='{.spec.appContextRoot}'
  1. The restarted pod process on master will now use the new context root. To check that run the following command:
kubectl port-forward svc/dai-xlr-digitalai-release 5516:80 -n digitalai
  1. Login to Release with the following URL.
http://localhost:5516/xlr-root

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

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

The URL for Ingress is as follows:

http://$ingressHostname/xlr-root
