title: Access Minikube Loadbalancer Service From Host Machine
body: <p>I am trying to learn how to use Kibernetes with Minikube and have the following deployment and service:</p>
  
  <pre><code>---
  kind: Service
  apiVersion: v1
  metadata:
    name: exampleservice
  spec:
    selector:
      app: myapp
    ports:
    - protocol: "TCP"
      # Port accessible inside cluster
      port: 8081
      # Port to forward to inside the pod
      targetPort: 8080
      # Port accessible outside cluster
      nodePort: 30002
    type: LoadBalancer
  ---
  apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
  kind: Deployment
  metadata:
    name: myappdeployment
  spec:
    replicas: 5
    template:
      metadata:
        labels:
          app: myapp
      spec:
        containers:
        - name: myapp
          image: tutum/hello-world
          ports:
          - containerPort: 8080
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect to be able to hit this service from my local machine at </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://192.168.64.2:30002
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As per the command: <code>minikube service exampleservice --url</code> but when I try to access this from the browser I get a site cannot be reached error.</p>
  
  <p>Some information that may help debugging:</p>
  
  <p><code>kubectl get services --all-namespaces</code>:</p>
