rancher 2.x thru ingress controller returns 404

9/21/2018

Rancher service:

$ kubectl get svc
NAME         TYPE        CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
rancher      ClusterIP   10.10.17.245   <none>        80/TCP,443/TCP   1h

Ingress controller service:

NAMESPACE       NAME                   TYPE           CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP      PORT(S)                      AGE
nginx-ingress   nginx-ingress          LoadBalancer   10.10.15.181   <ext-IP>   80:30324/TCP,443:31022/TCP   3h

Ingress role:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: rancher-ing
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "rancher"
spec:
  rules:
  - host: api.sample.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: rancher
          servicePort: 443

Ingress:

$ kubectl get ingress
NAME      HOSTS            ADDRESS   PORTS     AGE
rancher   api.sample.com             80        19s

When I am trying to reach rancher over the ingress controller ext-IP:

$ curl http://api.sample.com

As a response I have some not encoded string. If I do it thru web browser this string will be downloaded and I have got 404.
Similar role for some random service over http (without https) works fine so it's not a matter of wrong ingress controller configuration.

If I follow default ingress controller installation:
https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/blob/master/docs/installation.md
and apply rancher ingress role like:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  labels:
    app: rancher
  name: rancher
  namespace: cattle-system
spec:
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - api.sample.com
    secretName: default-server-secret
  rules:
  - host: api.sample.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: rancher
          servicePort: 80

This solution enabled https to Rancher UI over the ingress controller without annotations.

If you want to use kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "rancher" you have to deploy your ingress controller with the --ingress-class=rancher annotation.

Have a lot at https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/tree/master/examples/multiple-ingress-controllers and https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/multiple-ingress/
