So I've been trying to fix this for days now and I'm beyond stuck.
My app is running, and I can access the site when I go to the default url (example.com). I can refresh on this url without issues, and I can navigate through the pages being rendered through react router as long as I don't refresh on any other page. (e.g.) refreshing on example.com/path1 doesn't work, I get a 404 error.
My current ingress file looks like:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: myApp-ingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- my.app.com
secretName: myApp-tls
rules:
- host: "my.app.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /.*
backend:
service:
name: myApp
port:
number: 80
I've added many of the most common replies to issues such as this, but it only makes matters worse, such as white screen with "Unexpected token '<'" errors for all javascript files it tries to load, and none of the pages loading at all.
For example, I've tried:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
I've tried adding additional paths to the controller for each route available in the app, I've tried setting the path to just "/" or "/(.*)", nothing is working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!
EDIT:
# latest active node image
FROM node:14-alpine
# Create app directory
RUN mkdir /app
RUN mkdir -p /app/node_modules && chown -R node:node /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json /app
COPY tsconfig.json /app
COPY webpack.config.js /app
COPY .env.prod .env
ADD src /app/src
ADD dist /app/dist
RUN mkdir -p /app/dist/js && chown -R node:node /app/dist/js
ADD server /app/server
ADD assets /app/assets
ADD config /app/config
ARG NPM_TOKEN
COPY .npmrc_docker .npmrc
RUN npm cache verify
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build:prod
RUN rm -f .npmrc
# Expose necessary port
EXPOSE 3000
# Compile typescript and start app
CMD ["cross-env", "NODE_ENV=production", "PORT=3000", "ts-node", "server/server"]
I've also tried doing it with CMD ["npx", "http-server", "./dist", "-p", "3000"]
since the server part is only doing the following:
this.app.use(express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, "../dist")));
this.app.get("*", (request: express.Request, response: express.Response) => {
response.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, "../dist/index.html"));
});
So I think I found the issue, it seems to be working now, I still run into a problem of cmd shift r occasionally giving an unexpected token, but as a whole it seems to work.
I added the run script to the package.json, and I'm using that as the CMD now
CMD ["npm", "run", "start:prod"]
I also moved the javascript from the webpack build back to the root of the dist directory.
I don't really understand why it works now, and if I find anymore information on it, I'll update it here.
Edit:
It turns out this didn't work, I think at some point the app was cached and it just seemed like it was working, still stuck and hoping to find a fix for this.
Alright, so I found the real problem.
My domain uses both DigitalOcean and Microsoft name servers. I had the A record added on DO, but I guess it needs to be on both. So I added the A record to the other and now my config in my question works perfectly.
Your path: /.*
has no capture groups, so /$1
and /$2
are undefined.
Try the following:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: myApp-ingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- my.app.com
secretName: myApp-tls
rules:
- host: "my.app.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /(.*)
backend:
service:
name: myApp
port:
number: 80
