Hey,

Thank you for sharing this method for extracting the WordPress URL in a Kubernetes environment on a DigitalOcean Droplet. Your contribution is greatly appreciated by the community!

To add a bit more context for others who might come across this post: the command you’ve shared is a handy way to quickly retrieve the IP address of a WordPress service running in a Kubernetes cluster. This is particularly useful when the service is exposed via a LoadBalancer, which is common in cloud environments like DigitalOcean.

By executing export WORDPRESS_IP=$(kubectl get svc -n wordpress wordpress-kubernetes -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[*].ip}'), you’re setting an environment variable WORDPRESS_IP with the IP address of the WordPress service. Then, using echo "WordPress URL: http://$WORDPRESS_IP/" and echo "WordPress Admin URL: http://$WORDPRESS_IP/admin", you can easily access both the main site and the admin panel.

Thanks again for your valuable input! Feel free to share more tips or ask questions in our community.

Best,

Bobby
