Portal

Manage the Kurtosis Portal daemon for remote context access.

What is Portal?

Kurtosis Portal is a lightweight local daemon that enables communication with Kurtosis enclaves running on a remote Kurtosis server. It's only needed when using remote contexts — not required for local Docker or direct Kubernetes access.

Start

kurtosis portal start

Check status

kurtosis portal status

Stop

kurtosis portal stop

When you need it

Portal is used with remote Kurtosis contexts. If you're using:

  • Local Docker: No portal needed
  • Direct Kubernetes: Use kurtosis gateway instead
  • Remote Kurtosis server: Use portal + remote context

Remote contexts

# List contexts
kurtosis context ls

# Add a remote context
kurtosis context add <context-name>

# Switch to remote context
kurtosis context set <context-name>

# Start portal for the remote context
kurtosis portal start

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause Fix
Portal won't start Port conflict or stale process Run kurtosis portal stop then kurtosis portal start
Status shows not running Portal crashed or was killed Restart with kurtosis portal start
Services unreachable via portal Portal not started for current context Run kurtosis portal status to check, then kurtosis portal start
Connection refused errors Wrong context or portal not needed Verify context with kurtosis context ls — local Docker doesn't need portal
