# How do I connect to my k3s cluster?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-do-i-connect-to-my-k3s-cluster

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "k3s is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Note the address in the **Connection address** row.

## Connecting from your computer

1. Get the file: `scp root@IP:/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config`
2. Replace `127.0.0.1` in the file with your server's IP address.
3. Try it: `kubectl get nodes`

`k3s kubectl get pods -A` also works directly on the server.

## Good to know

- The Traefik ingress comes installed and uses ports **80** and **443**. The Kubernetes API is on port **6443**.
- The k3s.yaml file is the cluster's full access key, so do not share it.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with k3s installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/k3s-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
