Kubernetes - RBAC issue with ingress controller - kubernetes

Question

I'm following a tutorial by Diego Martínez, outlining how to use an ingress controller with SSL on K8s. Everything works fine, with the exception of an RBAC error:
It seems the cluster it is running with Authorization enabled (like RBAC) and there is no permissions for the ingress controller. Please check the configuration
Does anyone know how I can grant RBAC permissions to this resource?
I'm running on Google Cloud, and for reference, below is the ingress deployment spec

Answer 1

If you are deploying nginx-ingress, perhaps the nginx-ingress Helm chart is a simpler way to do it.
You can follow the guide on the nginx-ingress documentation installation on RBAC-enabled clusters.
Specifically addressing your question regarding adding the RBAC permissions, you will need to add something like:
