Desktop Modeler cannot connect to Zeebe Gateway via Openshift Route

[mljohns89]

Describe the bug

I have followed the documentation around Ingress on Openshift to the letter. I have tried all types of Routes in Openshift as well as setting up NGINX Ingress Controller. The Desktop modeler will connect successfully if I run the oc port-forward command.

Configuring the Openshift route to work with gRPC should be a lot simpler than what is described in the docs. An e2e step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated.

The Helm Chart is honestly a mess and looks completely hacked together

Transferring this issue here as it's likely an issue with the Helm charts and how things are wired together. If the distro team finds that the issue is with Zeebe in the end, please contact us about it and we'll take over.

Hi @mljohns89, thanks for reporting that.

Right now, we don't have official support for OpenShift Routes (but it's in the roadmap).
Till then, you should be able to use Nginx Ingress. But please note that Kubernetes project Nginx Ingress (not NGINX Ingress Controller by NGINX Inc.) ... which needs HTTPS for gRPC as mentioned in our docs.

Please add details about your setup using the issue template like Helm chart version, Helm CLI, etc (you can just open a new issue with that template).
