SuccessfulKoala55 So far, I only so how the credentials are passes in the config files. Can you point me to where it looks for env vars for authentication?

I thought about the config maps for the credentials. Having the urls of each server componenet (api,web,file) makes sense. The problem with an external load balancer is that I expose the servers outside of the cluster, which im trying to avoid. It might be the case that my thinking about this is mistaken alltogether and I should expose stuff outside the cluster but than i have to configure/maintain additional VPNs/VPCs which is more hassle and more money to the cloud providers seeing that k8s already provides its own private network and can be used with vpn clients. Howevet it might be inevitable for production needs in which case i would have to swallow this pill anyway. There is the issue of the web-server being static and thus requiring a fixed url mapping between the web server and the other server in the browser, but i assume solving this would be too much trouble for too little gains on your part i assume.
