Ingress routing to different services and with different paths to same service - kubernetes

Question

I have the following ingress config:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Exact
backend:
serviceName: web-service
servicePort: 5000
paths:
- path: /api/tasks/.*
pathType: Prefix
backend:
serviceName: tasks-service
servicePort: 5004
paths:
- path: /api/.*
pathType: Prefix
backend:
serviceName: um-service
servicePort: 5001
I'm intending to load the frontend by default then, use the other paths for loading other services. I would like to get the total tasks count from /api/tasks/total_count and raise new task from /api/tasks/raise. At the same time, I would like to login using /api/auth/login/ and view other users with /api/users/list both served with the um-service.
The above configuration only returns the default path of the last service which is the um-service.
How do I configure so that web loads by default, then either /api/auth/login or /api/users/list are routed to the um-service and /api/tasks/ is also routed to the tasks service? Kindly advice

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly, you want to achieve that result:
$ curl <MY_DOMAIN>/api/auth/login
um-service
$ curl <MY_DOMAIN>/api/users/list
um-service
$ curl <MY_DOMAIN>/api/tasks/
tasks-service
$ curl <MY_DOMAIN>/
web-service
You almost did everything right, but paths should only be given once
Try this configuration:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: web-service
servicePort: 5000
- path: /api/tasks/.*
backend:
serviceName: tasks-service
servicePort: 5004
- path: /api/.*
backend:
serviceName: um-service
servicePort: 5001
