I have a system where I need to be able to automatically create/destroy instances of my app. I will have a backend server that decides when to start app or destroy. There will also be a reverse proxy where it forwards incoming packets to a specific instance server. Therefore, I need a solution where my backend app needs to be able to start/destroy docker containers (is that what you call it?) and the docker containers need to allow the proxy to forward connections to it. I would like it to be able to do stuff across servers, so for example: backend server on machine A wants to start a new instance on machine B, and machine C has the proxy. If that’s too complex then just ingore that and it’ll do on one machine. So here are the questions:

I was wondering if someone could help me with a complex Kubernetes ingress routing question.

I have configured a host with a kubernetes cluster with minikube. It has redis server running as a NodePort and I am able to access the service if I am logged into the host, using the node ip and port. How do I redirect the requests from outside the host to the node which I believe is inside the host?
