Google GKE and Ingress where prefix give error: invalid ingress spec - kubernetes

I'm trying to setup a ingress network for my Google GKE, I have tested locally on Minikube and its working as I expect.
When I hit the domain with the prefix /test-1 or /test-2 its sending me to the root of the my service /.
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: api-test-domain-ingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- api.test-domain.com
secretName: tls-secret
rules:
- host: api.test-domain.com
http:
paths:
- path: /test-1(/|$)(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: test-1-port-forwarding
port:
number: 8080
- path: /test-2(/|$)(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: test-2-port-forwarding
port:
number: 8081
The issue is when I put it into my Kubernetes cluster on Google (GKE) then I get this error
Translation failed: invalid ingress spec: failed to validate prefix
path /test-1(/|$)(.) due to invalid wildcard; failed to validate
prefix path /test-2(/|$)(.) due to invalid wildcard
I have trying in hours to trying to get it to working and what's going on, whiteout any kind of result, so really hope some one here can explain about what I did wrong and what I shut change to resolved my problem.

GKE Built-in Ingress supports wildcard but with some conditions. From the doc:
The only supported wildcard character for the path field of an Ingress is the * character. The * character must follow a forward slash (/) and must be the last character in the pattern. For example, /*, /foo/*, and /foo/bar/* are valid patterns, but *, /foo/bar*, and /foo/*/bar are not.
If you want to use NGINX you will have to deploy it, GKE doesn't ship with NGINX out of the box. Keep in mind that this is something you will have to maintain and take care of yourself. It's a valid choice to make if the GKE default ingress doesn't support what you need to do (like headers re-write for example) but just be aware of the fact that it's an extra piece of software.

Haproxy ingress and regex pathType

I'm migrating an architecture to kubernetes and I'd like to use the Haproxy ingress controller that I'm installling with helm, according the documentation (version 1.3).
Thing is, when I'm defining path rules through an ingress file, I can't define Regex or Beging path types as seen on documentation here : https://haproxy-ingress.github.io/docs/configuration/keys/#path-type.
My configuration file :
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: bo-ingress
annotations:
haproxy.org/path-rewrite: "/"
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: haproxy
spec:
rules:
- host: foo.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Beging
backend:
service:
name: foo-service
port:
number: 80
When I install my ingress helm chart with this configuration, I have that error message :
Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "bo-ingress" with kind Ingress: Ingress.extensions "bo-ingress" is invalid: spec.rules[2].http.paths[12].pathType: Unsupported value: "Begin": supported values: "Exact", "ImplementationSpecific", "Prefix"
Am I missing something ? Is this feature only available for Enterprise plan ?
Thanks, Greg
HAProxy Ingress follows “Ingress v1 spec”, so any Ingress spec configuration should work as stated by the Kubernetes documentation.
As per the kubernetes documentation, the supported path types are ImplementationSpecific, Exact and Prefix. Paths that do not include an explicit pathType will fail validation. Here the path type Begin is not supported as per kubernetes documentation. So use either of those 3 types.
For more information on kubernetes supported path types refer to the documentation.

Kubernetes Ingress not forwarding routes

I am fairly new to Kubernetes and have just deployed my first cluster to IBM Cloud. When I created the cluster, I get a dedicated ingress subdomain, which I will be referring to as <long-k8subdomain>.cloud for the scope of this post. Now, this subdomain works for my app. For example: <long-k8subdomain>.cloud/ping works from my browser/curl just fine- I get the expected JSON response back. But, if I add this subdomain to a CNAME record on my domain provider's DNS settings (I have used Bluehost and IBM Cloud's Internet Services), I get a 404 response back from all routes. However this response is the default nginx 404 response (it says "nginx" under "404 Not Found"). I believe this means that this means the ingress load balancer is being reached, but the request does not get routed right. I am using Kubernetes version 1.20.12_1561 on VPC gen 2 and this is my ingress-config.yaml file:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress-resource
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "public-iks-k8s-nginx"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
more_set_headers "Host: <long-k8subdomain>.cloud";
spec:
rules:
- host: <long-k8subdomain>.cloud
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: my-service-name
port:
number: 80
I am pretty sure this problem is due to the annotations. Maybe I am using the wrong ones or I do not have enough. Ideally, I would like something like this: api..com/ to route correctly. I have also read a little bit about default backends, but I have not dove too much into that just yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have spent multiple hours trying to fix this.
Some sources I have used:
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-cs_network_planning
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-ingress-types
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-comm-ingress-annotations#annotations
Note: The reason why I have the second annotation is because for some reason, requests without that header were not being routed directly. So that was part of my debugging process and I just ended up leaving it as I am not sure if that annotation solves that, so I left it for now.
For the NGINX ingress controller to route requests for your own domain's CNAME record to the service instead of the IBM Cloud one, you need a rule in the ingress where the host identifies your domain.
For instance, if your domain's DNS entry is api.example.com, then change the resource YAML to:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress-resource
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "public-iks-k8s-nginx"
spec:
rules:
- host: api.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: my-service-name
port:
number: 80
You should not need the second annotation for this to work.
If you want both of the hosts to work, then you could add a second rule instead of replacing host in the existing one.

Setting service name dynamically based on path in Kubernetes Ingress

In a Kubernetes ingress, I'd like to dynamically change the service name to a match on a certain part of the path in an ingress. Something like this:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: example
spec:
rules:
- host: example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /api/(^/+)/(.*)
backend:
serviceName: api-(&1)
servicePort: 80
Where &1 in the example above would resolve to the first regular expression match in the string /api/(^/+)/(.*)
So basically if a path is something like this /api/asset/fetch/anything-at-all, then it would direct the call to a service named api-asset
I know that this can potentially lead to some security issues, but if I force the prefix 'api-' to the service name then only services with the prefix 'api-' would technically be exposed to the internet. And all other services would still be protected inside the Kubernetes cluster. I can even change the prefix to be 'public-' for simplicity's sake.
Is this something that is possible? And what is the correct syntax to set it up?

Ingress controller cannot find assets

I am trying to set up an Ingress controller on Microk8s to host a react (NextJS) app.
The pod and service are up and running, as well as reachable internally via machine.domain.eu:31111
My goal is to make this service available via machine.domain.eu/dev on the default port 80 using an nginx ingress controller:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: web-ingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
spec:
rules:
- host: machine.domain.eu
http:
paths:
- path: /dev(/|$)(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: web-svc
port:
number: 3000
If I issue a curl command via curl machine.domain.eu/dev from the machine, where the node is running, I am getting back the desired html, although I cannot see, if assets are being loaded.
When switching back to my local machine opening my browser of choice and hit that http endpoint I do get a blank screen and all static assets 404. The index.html comes through fine, yet all the other resources are not found.
I've tried any number of combinations on the annotation to rewrite to /$1 /$2, while changing the path to - path: /dev/?(.*) but to no effect.
In other words: The document itself is loaded via
http://machine.domain.eu/dev
Yet the assets, which should be loaded via
http://machine.domain.eu/dev/_next/{....}
are actually being requested via:
http://machine.domain.eu/_next/{....}
What excactly am I doing wrong here?

NGINX Ingress to Microk8s Bare metal cluster not working as expected

First a little background:
We currently have several websites and services hosted on a Plesk server and I am setting up a bare-metal development server to provide an area where we can test updates, etc. before going to production. I am using a 3 node kubernetes cluster running microk8s on Ubunutu 20.04.01. The services we host are pretty diverse: we have a couple Moodle sites, a few Wordpress sites, a site running limesurvery, an instance of Mantis bugtracker, and a few more. I have successfully gotten most of the sites containerized and running on k8s. I can also access each individual site either through a NodePort or a MetalLB load balancer.
However, I'd really like to use the NGINX Ingress Controller on top of the load balancer so that I can have a consistent way to access the sites without using a bunch of IP addresses (or in the NodePort case, ports that change). No matter what I've done, I cannot seem to get the Ingress to do what I want. I simply want to do the following:
http://<LB IP Address>/bugtracker to access the Mantis Bug Tracker site
http://<LB IP Address>/moodle1 to access one of the Moodle sites
http://<LB IP Address>/limesurvey to access the limesurvey,
etc. I seem to be able to get to the main page of the site (e.g. index.html, index.php, etc.), but any references from there on do not work - i.e. they give path not found errors or 404 errors.
Here's a sample of my Ingress file:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /limesurvey(/|$)(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: limesurvey-svc
port:
number: 80
- path: /moodle(/|$)(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: moodle-svc
port:
number: 8080
This ingress does not work (I get the 404s). However, if I only have one path in the file and just use '/' it works (but I can only use it for one service):
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: limesurvey-svc
port:
number: 80
I think what I need is for the path (limesurvey) to continue to be pre-pended onto each URL request, but I cannot seem to make this happen. The reason I think this is because when I navigate to http://<LB IP Address>/limesurvey and click on a survey, I get a 404 error at http://<LB IP Address>/index.php/<survey number>. However, if I manually change the URL in my browser to http://<LB IP Address>/limesurvey/index.php/<survey number> it will access the survey (but still have 404s with supporting assets).
Am I trying to do something outside of what the Ingress controller was designed for? I feel like I should be able to use the rewrite-target to accomplish this but I'm missing something critical.
I appreciate any help.
Some applications relay on static content served from different URL webserver locations and moreover do internal path routing (e.g. you hit "/" path but get served "/admin" section immediately).
In such cases creation of right Ingress rules gets more tricky, and requires you to better understand behavior and constructs of your web application, to predict all possible URL path locations that user may visit (these forced by app internal redirects too), and these sourced by html code as well.
Seems like your case with limesurvey app falls into that category:
Why do I think that?
Just try to open limesurvey public demo (https://demo.limesurvey.org/) and inspect site content.
You will learn that main page is using a lot of static files (e.g. css, javascrpt files), referenced from absolute path starting with: /tmp/assets/...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/tmp/assets/2d523ae6/survey.css" />
of course variants of different path locations can be matched with single smart reg-ex pattern, to avoid creation of dozen of individual ingress rules (what you tried).
What's the issue?
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /limesurvey(/|$)(.*) <---- it won't match "/tmp/assets/..." location
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: limesurvey-svc
port:
number: 80
Please try to create additional Ingress rule to support static file location (watch out, I'm using old syntax of Ingress resource, adjust it to your needs):
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
name: ingress-limesurvey-static
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: limesurvey-svc
servicePort: 80
path: /?(.*)
Best Solution (in my opinion)
You should define custom public URL within your application directly. Detailed information can be found in Advanced path settings, see publicurl option.
This way you wouldn't need to define internal reference for static files, however it should be done during installation.
