• Install RH Service Interconnect on OCP
• On OCP create project, download skupper cli (correct version) to laptop and do:
  • oc login
  • oc project
  • skupper init
  • skupper token create ocp-token.yaml
  • copy token file to Raspi
• On Raspi:
  • download skupper cli (correct version)
  • export SKUPPER_PLATFORM=podman
  • skupper init
  • skupper link create ocp-token.yaml
  • Check with skupper link status on both sides
  • Expose service running on 5000 (non Podman)
    • skupper expose host host.containers.internal --address darklord --port 5000
• On OCP from laptop
  • Expose the Skupper service as OCP service
    • skupper service create darklord 5000

Note: "darklord" is the internal name of the Skupper service.

Make sure service runs and test from OCP terminal, e.g.: curl darklord.robot.svc.cluster.local:5000
