How do I setup ingress for HashiCorp Vault UI in Kubernetes

7/29/2019

I have just installed an HashiCorp Vault on my Kubernetes cluster using. I want it to work through my existing ingress controller so I have created a new ingress rule using the yaml below:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: vault-ingress
  namespace: vault
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /vault
        backend:
          serviceName: vault
          servicePort: 8200

To my service which runs as:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: vault
  namespace: vault
  labels:
    module: vault
spec:
  selector:
    module: vault
  ports:
  - port: 8200
    targetPort: 8200

However, when I try and access my URL: http://ingress.domain/vault/ui I get empty page with errors

  config.json : '{
    "ui": "true",
    "disable_mlock": "true",
    "api_addr": "http://127.0.0.1:8200/vault",
    "listener": [
        {
            "tcp": {
                "address": "0.0.0.0:8200",
                "tls_disable": 1
            }
        }
    ]
}'

I've got response on Vault forum:

this is (currently) not possible. Vault's UI (and API) is not able to work with domain subpathing.
