I am attempting to create an NGINX-INGRESS (locally at first, then to be deployed to AWS behind a load-balancer). However I am new to Kubernetes, and I understand the Ingress model for NGINX- the configurations are confusing me as to weather I should be deploying an NGINX-INGRESS Service, Ingress or Both

I am working with multiple Flask-Apps I would like to have routed by path (/users, /content, etc.) My services are named user-service on port: 8000 (their container port is 8000 as well)

In this example an Ingress is defined. However, when I apply an ingress (in the same Namespace as my Flask there is no response from http://localhost

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress-name
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /users
        backend:
          serviceName: users-service 
          servicePort: 8000
      - path: /content
        backend:
          serviceName: content-service 
          servicePort: 8000

Furthermore, looking at the nginx-ingress "Deployment" docs, under Docker for Mac (which I assume I can use as I am using Docker on a MacOS) they define a Service like so:

kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: ingress-nginx
  namespace: ingress-nginx
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: ingress-nginx
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: ingress-nginx
spec:
  externalTrafficPolicy: Local
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: ingress-nginx
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: ingress-nginx
  ports:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: http
    - name: https
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: https

---

This seems to function for me (When I open "localhost" I get Nginx "not found", but it is a service in a different namespace then my apps- and there is no association between the port 80/443 and my service-ports.

For reference here is one of my deployment/service definitions:

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
    name: users-service
    labels:
        app: users-service
    namespace: example
spec:
    replicas: 1
    selector:
        matchLabels:
            app: users-service
    template:
        metadata:
            labels:
                app: users-service
        spec:
            containers:
                - name: users-service
                  image: users-service:latest
                  imagePullPolicy: Never
                  ports:
                  - containerPort: 8000
---
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: users-service
spec:
  selector:
    app: users-service
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
port: 8000

Update

I followed a video for setting up an NGINX-Controller+Ingress, here the results, entering "localhost/users" does not work,

describe-ingress:

nginx-ingress

Now when I try to enter the combination of NodeIP:NodePort/users, it does not connect?

From inside my nginx-ingress pod, calling:

curl 10.1.0.75:8000 or curl 10.100.213.229:8000 returns results.
