| kubectl apply -f -
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/udp-services-configmap.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/without-rbac.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/rbac.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/with-rbac.yaml \

There are cloud provider specific yaml files.
For standard usage:
minikube addons enable ingress
For development:
- Disable the ingress addon:
$ minikube addons disable ingress
- Use the docker daemon
- Build the image
- Perform Mandatory commands
- Install the
nginx-ingress-controller
deployment without RBAC roles or with RBAC roles - Edit the
nginx-ingress-controller
deployment to use your custom image. Local images can be seen by performingdocker images
.
$ kubectl edit deployment nginx-ingress-controller -n ingress-nginx
edit the following section:
image: <IMAGE-NAME>:<TAG>
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: nginx-ingress-controller
- Confirm the
nginx-ingress-controller
deployment exists:
$ kubectl get pods -n ingress-nginx
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
default-http-backend-66b447d9cf-rrlf9 1/1 Running 0 12s
nginx-ingress-controller-fdcdcd6dd-vvpgs 1/1 Running 0 11s
In AWS we use an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to expose the NGINX Ingress controller behind a Service of Type=LoadBalancer
.
This setup requires to choose in which layer (L4 or L7) we want to configure the ELB:
- Layer 4: use TCP as the listener protocol for ports 80 and 443.
- Layer 7: use HTTP as the listener protocol for port 80 and terminate TLS in the ELB
Patch the nginx ingress controller deployment to add the flag --publish-service
kubectl patch deployment -n ingress-nginx nginx-ingress-controller --type='json' \
--patch="$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/patch-deployment.yaml)"
For L4:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/aws/service-l4.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/aws/patch-configmap-l4.yaml
For L7:
Change line of the file provider/aws/service-l7.yaml
replacing the dummy id with a valid one "arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:XXXXXXXX:certificate/XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX"
Then execute:
kubectl apply -f provider/aws/service-l7.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/aws/patch-configmap-l7.yaml
This example creates an ELB with just two listeners, one in port 80 and another in port 443
If the ingress controller uses RBAC run:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/patch-service-with-rbac.yaml
If not run:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/patch-service-without-rbac.yaml
Patch the nginx ingress controller deployment to add the flag --publish-service
kubectl patch deployment -n ingress-nginx nginx-ingress-controller --type='json' \
--patch="$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/patch-deployment.yaml)"
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/gce-gke/service.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -
If the ingress controller uses RBAC run:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/patch-service-with-rbac.yaml
If not run:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/provider/patch-service-without-rbac.yaml

NGINX Ingress controller can be installed via Helm using the chart stable/nginx from the official charts repository.
To install the chart with the release name my-nginx
:
helm install stable/nginx-ingress --name my-nginx
To check if the ingress controller pods have started, run the following command:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l app=ingress-nginx --watch
Once the operator pods are running, you can cancel the above command by typing Ctrl+C
.
Now, you are ready to create your first ingress.
To detect which version of the ingress controller is running, exec into the pod and run nginx-ingress-controller version
command.
POD_NAMESPACE=ingress-nginx
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -n $POD_NAMESPACE -l app=ingress-nginx -o jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name})
kubectl exec -it $POD_NAME -n $POD_NAMESPACE -- /nginx-ingress-controller --version
A config map can be used to configure system components for the nginx-controller. In order to begin using a config-map make sure it has been created and is being used in the deployment.
It is created as seen in the Mandatory Commands section above.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/configmap.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -
and is setup to be used in the deployment without-rbac or with-rbac with the following line:
- --configmap=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/nginx-configuration
For information on using the config-map, see its user-guide.
