Unable to log in to the gateway - connection refused about faas HOT 8 CLOSED

Provided the file you’re cat-ing contains the appropriate password then you might try admin as the username:

If you're using faasd then there's a book that would likely help:

cat faas_password.txt | faas-cli login --username admin --password-stdin --gateway https://127.0.0.1:8080
Calling the OpenFaaS server to validate the credentials...
Cannot connect to OpenFaaS on URL: https://127.0.0.1:8080. Get "https://127.0.0.1:8080/system/functions": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused
I tried with admin and password as admin as well, still got the connection refused

Is it better to install via arkade as I am using a remote node?
After the installation you'll receive a command to retrieve your OpenFaaS URL and password.
Does this statement mean arkade will set my credentials?

If you're using a remote node then 127.0.0.1 isn't usually going to be correct. You will need to specify the gateway in the login command, or set the CLI env var for the gateway.

I'm not sure why you are guessing the password. You are provided with the password for the gateway when you install, or if you're using k8s then you can retrieve it as per the command in the documentation.

This kind of conversation demonstrates why the template exists. It's really difficult for someone else to help when information drips into an issue.
