Ingress controller not handling the traffic

5/30/2019

I'm using docker-for-desktop (docker for mac) and have installed ingress controller

$kubectl get pods -n ingress-nginx
NAME                                        READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx-ingress-controller-78474696b4-8vmbr   1/1     Running   0          20d

but not able to handle the traffic for a sample service. Here's a sample nginx service:

$kubectl run --image nginx webserver
$kubectl expose deploy webserver --port 80 --type NodePort

which runs as:

$kubectl get services
NAME         TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE
kubernetes   ClusterIP   10.96.0.1        <none>        443/TCP        40d
webserver    NodePort    10.109.250.166   <none>        80:31805/TCP   9m

and sample-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: webserver-sample
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /foo
        backend:
          serviceName: webserver
          servicePort: 80

and apply:

kubectl apply -f sample-ingress.yaml

ingress is running as:

$kubectl get ing
NAME               HOSTS   ADDRESS     PORTS   AGE
webserver-sample   *       localhost   80      7m

service is running as expected (which returns 200):

curl http://localhost:31805/

but problem is I'm not able to hit http://localhost/foo

$curl http://localhost/foo
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused

Any suggestion on how to debug the issue would be really be appreciated


[Update] here's the list of all services as requested by @VKR

$kubectl get svc --all-namespaces -o wide

Just reproduced your case in Docker for Windows - for me it works fine. Tried to expose with both NodePort and ClusterIP options - result is the same - it works Below is example using ClusterIP kubectl expose deploy webserver --port 80 --type ClusterIP

PS C:\Windows\system32> kubectl get pods -n ingress-nginx
NAME                                        READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx-ingress-controller-78474696b4-29fps   1/1       Running   0          2m

PS D:\> kubectl.exe get svc --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE       NAME            TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGE
default         kubernetes      ClusterIP      10.96.0.1        <none>        443/TCP                      26m
default         webserver       ClusterIP      10.110.218.48    <none>        80/TCP                       8m
docker          compose-api     ClusterIP      10.105.175.29    <none>        443/TCP                      25m
ingress-nginx   ingress-nginx   LoadBalancer   10.101.213.113   localhost     80:31191/TCP,443:32056/TCP   19m
kube-system     kube-dns        ClusterIP      10.96.0.10       <none>        53/UDP,53/TCP                26m

yaml I used:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: webserver-sample
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /foo
        backend:
          serviceName: webserver
          servicePort: 80
      - path: /bar
        backend:
          serviceName: webserver
          servicePort: 80   

Curl for /foo and /bar returns 308 Permanent Redirect (that is expected and works by design)

PS D:\> curl http://localhost/foo
curl : 308 Permanent Redirect
nginx/1.15.10
At line:1 char:1
+ curl http://localhost/foo
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand
PS D:\> curl http://localhost/bar
curl : 308 Permanent Redirect
nginx/1.15.10
At line:1 char:1
+ curl http://localhost/bar
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

Curl for /smth returns 404

PS D:\> curl http://localhost/smth
curl : 404 Not Found
nginx/1.15.10
At line:1 char:1
+ curl http://localhost/smth
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

Try to reinstall all from scratch using latest instruction and yamls. It should work for sure
