Dinghy Ping

Dinghy Ping is a simple network debugging interface meant to be deployed into your compute infrastructure (ie, Kubernetes). Used for debugging network connectivity to other services local to Dinghy Ping or external to the compute infrastructure (egress). Meant to answer simple connectivity questions developers might have when deploying their applications to a container orchestration setup where routing and accessibility may be different from their local development environments.

Helm Install

Helm must be installed to use the charts. Please refer to Helm's documentation to get started.

Once Helm has been set up correctly, add the repo as follows:

helm repo add dinghy-ping https://silvermullet.github.io/dinghy-ping

If you had already added this repo earlier, run helm repo update to retrieve the latest versions of the packages. You can then run helm search repo dinghy-ping to see the charts.

To install the dinghy-ping chart:

helm install my-dinghy-ping dinghy-ping/dinghy-ping

To uninstall the chart:

helm delete my-dinghy-ping

Requirements

• If using a LoadBalancer with your ingress, there may be some configuration requirements to support web sockets. For example, an AWS ELB must be using "tcp" for backend request. See this for more details as to why: kubernetes/ingress-nginx#3746
