Hi there,

I run a kubernetes cluster on Digital Ocean.

I created a service, which is exposed via type nodePort. I can access the service in my browser if I enter http://PublicNodeIp:31433.

Now I want to use a DigitalOcean Load Balancer to forward traffic from port 80 to the service, but it doesn’t work. If I enter the load balancer IP in the browser I get: 503 Service Unavailable.

The load balancer is configured to forward http port 80 to Droplet http port 31433

I’m not sure, but can it be that the Load Balancer doesn’t forward to the Public Droplet Ip? If this is the problem, how can I expose a Kubernetes Service using the Private Droplet Ip?
