Obtaining the agent port in Docker

To quickly figure out the ip of the agent container run docker ps in the console and find the line with eclipse-che/workspace... and in that line the debug port is at 0.0.0.0:xxxxxxx->8000/tcp

The host is localhost when using Docker.

Obtaining the agent ip in Kubernetes

Run the following command:

$ kubectl get pod --namespace che -l che.original_name=dockerimage -o custom-columns=NAME:metadata.name,IP:status.podIP

The port is 8000 when using Kubernetes.
