Below is my basic configmap

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: opa-policy
namespace: demo-new
data:
policy.rego: |
package istio.authz

import future.keywords.in

default allow = false

Hi there! Try running with “--addr 0.0.0.0:8181” as the localhost binding (default in recent OPA versions) may not be exposed outside of the container
