Service Publishing

Service Publishing

Overview

Expose HTTP services running inside worker containers to the outside world via the Higress gateway. Each exposed port gets an auto-generated domain name.

How It Works

Add expose to a Worker's spec to publish container ports. The controller automatically creates the Higress domain, service source, and route.

Auto-generated domain pattern:

worker-{name}-{port}-local.agentteams.io

Example: worker alice exposing port 8080 → worker-alice-8080-local.agentteams.io

Usage

Via CLI

# Expose port 8080 for worker alice
agt apply worker --name alice --model qwen3.5-plus --expose 8080

# Expose multiple ports
agt apply worker --name alice --model qwen3.5-plus --expose 8080,3000

# Check exposed ports
agt get worker alice
# Look for status.exposedPorts in the output

# Remove exposed ports (update without --expose)
agt apply worker --name alice --model qwen3.5-plus

Via YAML

apiVersion: agentteams.io/v1beta1
kind: Worker
metadata:
  name: alice
spec:
  model: qwen3.5-plus
  expose:
    - port: 8080
    - port: 3000

Apply with:

agt apply -f worker.yaml

Workers referenced by a Team

Configure expose on the Worker CR, then reference that Worker from the Team:

apiVersion: agentteams.io/v1beta1
kind: Worker
metadata:
  name: lead
spec:
  model: qwen3.5-plus
---
apiVersion: agentteams.io/v1beta1
kind: Worker
metadata:
  name: backend
spec:
  model: qwen3.5-plus
  expose:
    - port: 8080
---
apiVersion: agentteams.io/v1beta1
kind: Team
metadata:
  name: dev-team
spec:
  workerMembers:
    - name: lead
      role: team_leader
    - name: backend
      role: worker

Important Notes

• The worker container must be running and the service must be listening on the specified port before it can be accessed
• Domains are auto-generated; custom domains are not yet supported
• No authentication is configured on exposed routes (public access)
• Docker DNS resolves the worker container name (agentteams-worker-{name}) automatically within agentteams-net
• To stop exposing a port, remove it from the expose list and re-apply
