Ingress failing to get an address - kubernetes

Question

I have a node server which runs in a container inside a pod. The pod is up and running and is working fine.
Then I have a NodePort service which is used to serve the pod. The service is curl-able from inside the container and returns a response successfully.

Then I have an NGINX Ingress Controller running and an Ingress resource.

After all this when I do kubectl get pods:

server-7466b8f5d8-jmm57 1/1 Running 0 12m
kubectl get service:

nginxserver LoadBalancer 10.100.129.213 aa486e3c823d54f4fbe8da864b55d394-674371728.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31573/TCP 5h23m
server NodePort 10.100.138.182 <none> 80:30001/TCP 13m
kubectl get ingress:
NAME CLASS HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE
server nginx * 80 14m
This currently shows 14m age but before this I had waited for 30m too but no address popped up.
I have tried searching a lot and found that this was associated with wrong ingress settings or wrong namespaces but none of that helped me.
What can I do to so that I can get an address for the ingress?
Thankyou!

Answer 1

I gave up. As a last option I thought maybe my ingress controller is not working properly. So I
helm repo add nginx-stable https://helm.nginx.com/stable
helm repo update
helm install ingress-nginx nginx-stable/nginx-ingress --set rbac.create=true
after deleting the previous one and my ingress got an idress within seconds.
