Minikube NGINX Ingress return 404 Not Found - kubernetes

Question

I created a deployment, a service and an Ingress to be able to access a NGINX webserver from my host, but I keep getting 404 Not Found. After a lot of hours troubleshooting, I'm getting to a point where some help would be very welcomed.
The steps and related yaml files are below.
Enable Minikube NGINX Ingress controller
minikube addons enable ingress
Create NGINX web server deployment
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: webserver-white
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx-webserver-white
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx-webserver-white
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:alpine
ports:
- containerPort: 80
Create ClusterIP Service to manage the access to the pods
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: webserver-white-svc
labels:
run: webserver-white-svc
spec:
type: ClusterIP
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 80
selector:
app: nginx-webserver-white
Create Ingress to access service from outside the Cluster
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: webserver-white-ingress
namespace: default
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
defaultBackend:
service:
name: webserver-white-svc
port:
number: 80
rules:
- host: white.example.com # This is pointing to the control plane IP
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: webserver-white-svc
port:
number: 80
path: /
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
Tests
When connecting to one pod and executing curl http://localhost, it return the NGINX homepage html, so the pod looks good.
When creating a testing pod and executing curl http://<service-cluster-ip>, it return the NGINX homepage html, so the service looks good.
When connecting to the ingress nginx controller pod and executing curl http://<service-cluster-ip>, it also return the NGINX homepage html, so the connection between the ingress controller and the service looks good.
When connecting to the control plane with minikube ssh and executing ping <nginx-controller-ip> I see that it reaches the nginx controller.
I tested the same, but with a NodePort Service instead of ClusterIP and noticed that I could access the NGINX homepage using the node port, but not the Ingress port.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong and/or what else I could do to better troubleshoot this issue?
Other notes
minikube version: v1.23.0
kubectl version on the client and server: v1.22.1
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
UPDATE/SOLUTION:
The solution was to add the missing annotation kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx" on the Ingress.
