Hello Members,  
I have what seems to be a running version of awx-operator - image 0.13.0.  
I can get the service and a port 80/31507/tcp, etc

When I try to use http to access the host - I get connection refused.  
same with curl localhost:31507 and curl [http://localhost:31507](http://localhost:31507)

any suggestions? I have a single node k3s kubernetes cluster

thanks

ewholz

Hi ewholz,

Can you please share your `awx-demo.yml` spec file (if you are following the operator installation guide)? Are you using the default nodePort service?
