I'm having difficulties getting my Ingress controller running on Google Container Engine. I want to use an NGINX Ingress Controller with Basic Auth and use a reserved global static ip name (this can be made in the External IP addresses section in the Google Cloud Admin interface). When I use the gce class everything works fine except for the Basic Auth (which I think is not supported on the gce class), anenter code hered when I try to use the nginx class the Ingress Controller launches but the IP address that I reserved in the Google Cloud Admin interface will not be attached to the Ingress Controller. Does anyone know how to get this working? Here is my config file:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: webserver
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "myreservedipname"
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: "Auth required"
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: htpasswd
spec:
tls:
- secretName: tls
backend:
serviceName: webserver
servicePort: 80
I found a solution with helm.
helm install --name nginx-ingress stable/nginx-ingress \
--set controller.service.loadBalancerIP=<YOUR_EXTERNAL_IP>
You should use the external-ip
and not the name you gave with gcloud.
Also, in my case I also added --set rbac.create=true
for permissions.
External IP address can be attached to the Load Balancer which you can point to your Ingress controller.
One major remark - the External IP address should be reserved in the same region as the Kubernetes cluster.
To do it, you just need to deploy your Nginx-ingress service with type: LoadBalancer
and set ExternalIP
value, like this:
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: ingress-nginx
namespace: ingress-nginx
labels:
app: ingress-nginx
spec:
loadBalancerIP: <YOUR_EXTERNAL_IP>
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: ingress-nginx
ports:
- name: http
port: 80
targetPort: http
- name: https
port: 443
targetPort: https
After deployment, Kubernetes will create a new Load Balancer with desired static IP which will be an entry-point for your Ingress.
@silgon, as I see, you already tried to do it, but without a positive result. But, it should work. If not - check the region of IP address and configuration once again.
Here's an example that I know works, could be an issue around your syntax:
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
rules:
- host: nginx.192.168.99.100.nip.io
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: nginx
servicePort: 80
