HW: RTX A2000 12GB, 32GB RAM, Intel(R) Xeon(R) w5-2445  
OS: Ubuntu 22.04, fresh install  
TAO Toolkit API: 5.3.0

Hello,

I’m trying to install Tao Toolkit API following the directions available here: [Setup - NVIDIA Docs](https://docs.nvidia.com/tao/tao-toolkit/text/tao_toolkit_api/api_setup.html). The API has to run on a single machine.  
When starting the TAO pod (last step of installation phase) I get the error:

```auto
Readiness probe failed: Get "http://192.168.33.146:8000/api/v1/health/readiness": dial tcp 192.168.33.146:8000: connect: connection refused

```

Since I have not set the `HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY` variables and have not managed the CA certificates, could that be the problem?  
Could you provide a complete example where it is explained how to handle these variables and certificates?

Thank you!

Could you please upload the full log?  
Also, it is better to check the pod status.

```auto
$ kubectl get pods
$ kubectl describe pod <pod id> 
$ kubectl logs -f <pod id> 
$ kubectl describe pod <pod id>

```
