The Selenium Nodes will need to know how to get to the Hub, let's create a service for the nodes to connect to.
```console
kubectl create --filename=staging/selenium/selenium-hub-svc.yaml
```
### Verify Selenium Hub Deployment
Let's verify our deployment of Selenium hub by connecting to the web console.
#### Kubernetes Nodes Reachable
If your Kubernetes nodes are reachable from your network, you can verify the hub by hitting it on the nodeport. You can retrieve the nodeport by typing `kubectl describe svc selenium-hub`, however the snippet below automates that by using kubectl's template functionality:
```console
export NODEPORT=`kubectl get svc --selector='app=selenium-hub' --output=template --template="{{ with index .items 0}}{{with index .spec.ports 0 }}{{.nodePort}}{{end}}{{end}}"`
export NODE=`kubectl get nodes --output=template --template="{{with index .items 0 }}{{.metadata.name}}{{end}}"`
curl http://$NODE:$NODEPORT
```
#### Kubernetes Nodes Unreachable
If you cannot reach your Kubernetes nodes from your network, you can proxy via kubectl.
```console
export PODNAME=`kubectl get pods --selector="app=selenium-hub" --output=template --template="{{with index .items 0}}{{.metadata.name}}{{end}}"`
kubectl port-forward $PODNAME 4444:4444
```
In a separate terminal, you can now check the status.
```console
curl http://localhost:4444
```
#### Using Google Container Engine
If you are using Google Container Engine, you can expose your hub via the internet. This is a bad idea for many reasons, but you can do it as follows:
```console
kubectl expose deployment selenium-hub --name=selenium-hub-external --labels="app=selenium-hub,external=true" --type=LoadBalancer
```
Then wait a few minutes, eventually your new `selenium-hub-external` service will be assigned a load balanced IP from gcloud. Once `kubectl get svc selenium-hub-external` shows two IPs, run this snippet.
```console
export INTERNET_IP=`kubectl get svc --selector="app=selenium-hub,external=true" --output=template --template="{{with index .items 0}}{{with index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0}}{{.ip}}{{end}}{{end}}"`
curl http://$INTERNET_IP:4444/
```
You should now be able to hit `$INTERNET_IP` via your web browser, and so can everyone else on the Internet!
### Deploy Firefox and Chrome Nodes:
Now that the Hub is up, we can deploy workers.
This will deploy 2 Chrome nodes.
```console
kubectl create --filename=staging/selenium/selenium-node-chrome-deployment.yaml
```
And 2 Firefox nodes to match.
```console
kubectl create --filename=staging/selenium/selenium-node-firefox-deployment.yaml
```
Once the pods start, you will see them show up in the Selenium Hub interface.
### Run a Selenium Job
Let's run a quick Selenium job to validate our setup.
#### Setup Python Environment
First, we need to start a python container that we can attach to, then get inside this container.
```console
kubectl run selenium-python --tty -i --image=python:slim bash
```
Once inside, we need to install the Selenium library
```console
pip install selenium
```
#### Run Selenium Job with Python
We're all set up, start the python interpreter.
```console
python
```
And paste in the contents of selenium-test.py.
