Thanks! This is great stuff! It really will make it easier for folks to get started with Flatpak. It can feel very abstract until you get some good guidance like this.
The `kubectl port-forward` command is also an *excellent* way to develop a service without actually exposing it to the world until it's completely ready to launch.
It's also a great way to use local clients on your laptop with remote services in the pods: `mysqldump`, `etcdctl`, etc.
It might be my favourite and the most convenient feature of Kubernetes!
