I'm trying to use a proxy pass with nginx to a Kibana pod using a basic auth.

Worked for testing (it's another k8s cluster, but pretty similar, using same namespace, kube-dns, env inside the pods matches and they see each other) Context: I deploy this via helm at k8s in AWS, the nginx has a Kubernetes LB service type (which basically it's an ELB at AWS with its cname at route53).

If I point nginx pod to kibana-app.kube-system.svc.cluster.local:5601 I see the request at kibana pod from nginx, but returning 404 while trying to go to server.basePath: /api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kibana-app/

I can access kibana-app pod by getting the url from "kubectl cluster-info" and then checking the logs, the request goes like this:

"method":"get","statusCode":200,"req":{"url":"/app/kibana"
"x-forwarded-uri":"/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kibana-logging/app/kibana

Can't find what's going wrong while trying to reach Kibana path from nginx (after doing a basic auth)

    server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/host.access.log;

    location / {
        auth_basic "simple auth";
        auth_basic_user_file /var/kibana_config/htpasswd;
        try_files KIBANA @kibana-app;
    }

    location @kibanaapp {
        return 301 http://kiban-app-url-from-route53/server.basePath;
    }

    location /api {
            proxy_pass https://api.awszone.mydomain/api;
        proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic ";
    }
}

Also tried to move the proxy_pass statement, removing the return and just doing a proxy_pass from where kibana's pod is listening but either doesn't work, the request never gets to the pod or when the request gets to kibana-app pod, it returns a 404.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Update :

I'm almost there, now I can see the "kibana is loading screen" but never finish loading the bundles, json and stuff, nginx pod log:

GET /api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kibana-logging/bundles/commons.style.css

same request at kibana pod returning 404:

"statusCode":404,"req":{"url":"/app/kibana/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kibana-logging/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=10146","method":"get","headers":{"host":"kibana.app.env.com","referer":"http://kibana.app.env.com/api "referer":"http://kibana.app.env.com/api"},"res":{"statusCode":404,"responseTime":2,"contentLength":9},"message":"GET /app/kibana/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kibana-logging/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=10146

my nginx conf:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/host.access.log;

    location / {
        auth_basic "simple auth";
        auth_basic_user_file /var/kibana_config/htpasswd;
        try_files KIBANA @kibana-app;
    }

    location @kibana-app {
        return 301 kibana.app.env.com/server.basePath;
    }

    location /api {
        proxy_pass http://kibana-logging.kube-system.svc.cluster.local:5601;
        proxy_set_header HOST $host;
        proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Authorization "simple auth ";
    }

}

"kibana.app.env.com" it's just the FQDN that kubernetes creates at route53 as a CNAME to an ELB which hits the nodes from where nginx/kibana pods are. That's the url I use at the browser and it should reach nginx, ask me for basic authorization and then take me to kibana pod with server.basePath: /api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kibana-logging Please, ask me something if I'm not being clear, sorry that I can't just copy/paste everything.
