Target Management

Targets are used to manage the addresses of the remote Shipa servers.

Each target is identified by a label and an HTTPS address. Shipa's client requires at least one target to connect to. A user may have multiple targets, but only one will be used at a time.

📘

Shipa Cloud Target Address

If you are using Shipa Cloud, you can use Shipa Cloud's default target address to connect to your instance:

$ shipa target add shipa target.shipa.cloud -s

Adding Targets

shipa target add <label> <target> [--set-current|-s]

The command above adds a new entry to the list of available targets.

📘

Target Label

Please note that the label flag used in the command above can be any name chosen by the user and not necessarily any label or name tied to the Shipa instance when created.

It's also important to notice that a user can have multiple Shipa targets configured in their machine, so they can use labels to distinguish between the different Shipa targets.

Self-Hosted Shipa Target Address

You can run the command below to find the target address for your Self-Hosted Shipa instance:

kubectl --namespace=shipa-system get svc shipa-ingress-nginx -o jsonpath="{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}"

You should run the command above in the cluster where Shipa was installed, and it will output the IP that should be used as the target on the steps below.
