Final Touches

Port Forwarding

If you want to access an app outside of port forwarding to test, you'll need to make sure your app's ingress is setup correctly and then you'll need to setup your router to port forward 80->80 and 443->443 for your WAN. then setup DNS for your domain if you want the wider internet to access this remotely.

SSL/TLS

After SSL is working (if it's not, follow the steps in the cert-manager common error troubleshooting guide), you can also change the letsencrypt-staging value to letsencrypt-prod for any domains you own and can configure to point to your cluster via DNS.
