Can't access a Minikube's NodePort service from outside

I'm new to Kubernetes and I'm in the process of deploying my Docker containers to a Minikube server.

I've installed Minikube on Docker running on a Linux server with the local IP address 10.0.0.92. When I check the Minikube's IP, it returns 192.168.49.2.

I'm following the "Deploy to Kubernetes" guide on the Docker website.

Here are my deployment and service configurations:

apiVersion: apps/v1kind: Deploymentmetadata:  name: app-name  namespace: defaultspec:  replicas: 1  selector:    matchLabels:      app: app-name  template:    metadata:      labels:        app: app-name    spec:      containers:        - name: app-name          image: docker-hub-username/app-name:latest          ports:          - containerPort: 9600---apiVersion: v1kind: Servicemetadata:  name: app-name  namespace: defaultspec:  type: NodePort  selector:    app: app-name  ports:    - port: 9600      targetPort: 9600      nodePort: 30001

After applying the deployment file, I noticed that the pod is running on a different IP, specifically 10.244.0.18.

I checked the pod's logs, and here is what I found:

warn: Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.Repositories.FileSystemXmlRepository[60]      Storing keys in a directory '/root/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys' that may not be persisted outside of the container. Protected data will be unavailable when the container is destroyed.

Press Ctrl+C to shut down.info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]      Hosting environment: Productioninfo: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]      Content root path: /app

However, when I check the service information on my server, I see this:

NAME                      TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGEapp-name                  NodePort    10.103.221.235   <none>        9600:30001/TCP   3h5m

And when I run the command kubectl describe svc app-name, this is the output:

Name:                     app-name Namespace:                defaultLabels:                   <none>Annotations:              <none>Selector:                 app=app-name Type:                     NodePortIP Family Policy:         SingleStackIP Families:              IPv4IP:                       10.103.221.235IPs:                      10.103.221.235Port:                     <unset>  9600/TCPTargetPort:               9600/TCPNodePort:                 <unset>  30001/TCPEndpoints:                10.244.0.18:9600Session Affinity:         NoneExternal Traffic Policy:  ClusterInternal Traffic Policy:  ClusterEvents:                   <none>

Lastly, when I run the command minikube service api-intranet-gateway --url, it returns http://192.168.49.2:30001

According to the "Deploy to Kubernetes" guide, I was instructed to access my app at http://localhost:30001. However, I am unable to access it either from the localhost or via the service URL http://192.168.49.2:30001.

Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Also, could you show me how to set up port forwarding so that it listens on port 9600 on my localhost (10.0.0.92)? I would really appreciate your help.
