Can't reach apps through nginx ingress on m1 mac

[Oyelowo]

First, thanks for this project. It has made my local dev experience very delightful!

Problem

I am unable to reach my applications running in the cluster through nginx-ingress controller. This worked when I tried with the default traefik ingress controller.

Expectation

I want to be able to go to localhost:8080 to load my application

Command used to create the cluster:

k3d cluster create local --api-port 127.0.0.1:6443 \
                                         -p 8080:80@loadbalancer  \
                                         -p 443:443@loadbalancer \
                                         --k3s-arg "--no-deploy=traefik@server:*"

When tried with nginx-ingress, the address is empty:

❯ kgi -A
NAMESPACE     NAME    CLASS    HOSTS       ADDRESS   PORTS   AGE
development   nginx   <none>   localhost             80      15s

My ingress rules

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: pulumi
  name: nginx
  namespace: development
spec:
  rules:
    - host: localhost
      http:
        paths:
          - backend:
              service:
                name: web-app
                port:
                  number: 3000
            path: /app
            pathType: Prefix
          - backend:
              service:
                name: backend-app
                port:
                  number: 8000
            path: /
            pathType: Prefix

Hi @Oyelowo , thanks for starting this discussion and thanks for the feedback!
Even though it's not directly related to k3d itself, I can try to help you.
Can you please share some more details about how ingress-nginx is deployed and what error you see e.g. when curl'ing it? 🤔

@Oyelowo Have you found a solution?

[Oyelowo]

Thanks @iwilltry42, I eventually found a solution. Apologies, I had not replied here until now.

@Ruitjes , I used the following:

To start k3d without default. traefik:

k3d cluster create local --port 8080:80@loadbalancer --port 8443:443@loadbalancer --k3s-arg "--no-deploy=traefik@server:*"

My nginx-ingress configuration looks like this:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    # cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-cluster-issuer
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
  name: nginx-ingress
  namespace: applications
spec:
  ingressClassName: nginx
  rules:
  - host: localhost
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          service:
            name: react-web
            port:
              number: 3000
        path: /
        pathType: Prefix
      - backend:
          service:
            name: rust-graphql-backend
            port:
              number: 8000
        path: /graphql
        pathType: Prefix

Hope it helps! Let me know if you have further questions
