I have a Pod that contains an image of a NodeJS project serving a build of vuejs (Manual SSR) And I have an ingress controller to match a host to the service connecting to the Pod as follows:

The Problem I'm facing is that static assets (CSS, JS and images) aren't served, so they need a "server" that handles these files.

I tried to have the Pod mounts two containers, NodeJS + Nginx container and copy the static file in Nginx /var/www/html and serve them from there using nginx location rule but it looks like an overkill to put that in production.

I'm curious how the best way to do this, maybe using Ingress controller rules/annotations? or some way that I am missing?

My Ingress controller looks like:

<!-- language: yaml -->

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress-nginx
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
spec:
  rules:
    - host: test.ssr.local
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            backend:
              serviceName: service-internal-ssr
              servicePort: 8080

<!-- end snippet -->

My Deployment looks like:

<!-- language: yaml -->

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: ssr
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: ssr
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: ssr
    spec:
        - name: ssr
          image: ...
          resources:
            limits:
              cpu: 0.5
              memory: 1000Mi
            requests:
              cpu: 0.2
              memory: 500Mi
          ports:
            - name: app-port
              containerPort: 2055
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:

spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  selector:
    app: ssr
  ports:
    - port: 8080
      targetPort: 2055

Thank you in advance
