When looking at the 
FlyteInteractive
docs for vscode with Flyte v1, I see the recommended pattern for connecting to the deployed VSCode Server (here)
(Recommended) Expose a URL on the Flyte console. Set up ingress on the Flyte backend to expose a URL on the Flyte console.
My question is if there are examples on how to achieve this setup, and how to get 
flyteconsole
to display the link within the UI. If this can be done using configurations available in the 
flyte-core
helm chart that would be the most desirable approach.

Reasoning Complete! šŸ¤– šŸ” Searched knowledge base: I'll look for official documentation or examples that show how to expose a VSCode Server URL in the Flyte console using the flyte-core Helm chart, including how to make the link appear in the UI. ā€¢ Searching over 10 data sources from the following: File, Github File, Github Issue, Web ā€¢ Found 59 documents that could be relevant from the following data sources: Bing, Github File, Github Issue, Github Pull Request, Web Content. ā€¢ Filtered down to the top 30 most relevant documents. āœļø Generated answer: Based on the available documentation and examples, there isn't a fully documented, out-of-the-box way to expose a VSCode Server link in the Flyte console UI using just the flyte-core Helm chart. You can set up ingress for the VSCode server by extending the Helm chart, but displaying a clickable link in the FlyteConsole UI requires manual steps and is not natively supported. I can summarize the best-known approach for you.
It seems likely that exposing the VSCode server via a URL in the Flyte console requires configuring ingress rules to route traffic to the VSCode server and possibly using dynamic log links to display the URL in the UI. The FlyteInteractive VSCode docs mention exposing a URL on the console but do not provide a full example. However, the Flyte helm charts (e.g., 
flyte-core
) support custom ingress rules, and recent Flyte releases added support for dynamic log links, which can be configured to show custom links (like VSCode) in the console UI. To achieve this, you would: 1. Add an ingress rule in your 
flyte-core
helm values to route a path (e.g., 
/vscode/<pod>
) to the VSCode server running in the Flyte task pod. See flyte-core ingress template for structure. 2. Configure a dynamic log link in FlytePropeller's config to generate the VSCode URL for each task, so the console displays it. This is supported as of dynamic log links PR, where you can set a template URI for the VSCode server. Would you like a step-by-step example with sample YAML and configuration snippets?

Hmm, I think there would be some steps missing here. In order to have the ingress target a pod, we would first need a service that identifies the pod as a target (or some other form of request routing) Also, team members could run workflows with interactive annotations at any time - which means these rules would have to be addressed in an automated way. I was hoping there would be an existing feature that supports this given the recommendation in the Flyte docs (to use Ingress), but Iā€™m beginning to think this feature is really only designed for the 
kubectl port-forward ā€¦

Reasoning Complete! šŸ¤– šŸ” Searched knowledge base: I'll look for any official documentation or community discussions that clarify whether Flyte or FlyteInteractive supports automatically exposing interactive pods (like VSCode servers) via ingress, or if manual port-forwarding is the only supported method. ā€¢ Searching over 10 data sources from the following: File, Github File, Github Issue, Web ā€¢ Found 53 documents that could be relevant from the following data sources: Bing, Github File, Github Issue, Github Pull Request, Web Content. ā€¢ Filtered down to the top 30 most relevant documents. āœļø Generated answer: Based on all available documentation and community feedback, Flyte does not currently provide an automated way to expose interactive task pods (like VSCode servers) via ingress. The recommended approach in the docs is more aspirational, and the only fully supported method is to use 
kubectl port-forward
to connect to the pod. If you need a production-ready, automated ingress solution, it would require custom scripting or a controller outside of Flyte's current features.
You are correct: the FlyteInteractive VSCode documentation recommends exposing a URL via ingress, but does not provide a built-in, automated solution for dynamically routing ingress to arbitrary task pods. The docs mention that details for exposing a URL on the Flyte console are "TBD," and the only fully documented method is using 
kubectl port-forward
to connect to the VSCode server running in a task pod (FlyteInteractive VSCode docs). There is no out-of-the-box feature in the 
flyte-core
helm chart or Flyte itself that automatically creates services and ingress rules for each interactive pod. Automating this would require custom Kubernetes controllers or admission webhooks to watch for interactive pods and create the necessary resources, which is not described in the official documentation. Would you like more detail on possible custom automation patterns, or guidance on using the port-forward approach?
