minikube ingress not resolving in windows

11/12/2021

How do I expose an ingress when running kubernetes with minikube in windows 10?

I have enabled the minikube ingress add on.

My ingress is running here...

NAME               CLASS   HOSTS           ADDRESS        PORTS   AGE
helmtest-ingress   nginx   helmtest.info   192.168.49.2   80      37m

I have added my hosts entry...

192.168.49.2 helmtest.info

I just get nothing when attempting to browse or ping either 192.168.49.2 or helmtest.info

My ingress looks like the following

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: helmtest-ingress
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
spec:
  rules:
    - host: helmtest.info
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            pathType: Prefix
            backend:
              service:
                name: helmtest-service
                port:
                  number: 80

My service looks like the following...

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: helmtest-service
  labels: 
    app: helmtest-service
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  selector:
    app: helmtest
  ports:
  - port: 80
    targetPort: 80
    protocol: TCP

I can access my service successfully in the browser after running minikube service helmtest-service --url

If I run minikube tunnel it just hangs here....

minikube tunnel
❗  Access to ports below 1024 may fail on Windows with OpenSSH clients older than v8.1. For more information, see: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/accessing/#access-to-ports-1024-on-windows-requires-root-permission
🏃  Starting tunnel for service helmtest-ingress.

Where am I going wrong here?

OP didn't provide further information so I will provide answer based on the current information.

You can run Ingress on Minikube using the $ minikube addons enable ingress command. However, ingress has more addons, like Ingress DNS using minikube addons enabled ingress-dns. In Minikube documentation you can find more details about this addon and when you should use it.

Minikube has quite a well described section about tunnel. Quite important fact about the tunnel is that it must be run in a separate terminal window to keep the LoadBalancer running.

Services of type LoadBalancer can be exposed via the minikube tunnel command. It must be run in a separate terminal window to keep the LoadBalancer running. Ctrl-C in the terminal can be used to terminate the process at which time the network routes will be cleaned up.

This part is described in Accessing apps documentation.

As OP mention

I can access my service successfully in the browser after running minikube service helmtest-service --url
If I run minikube tunnel it just hangs here....

Possible Solution

You might use the old version of SSH, update it.
You are using ports <1024. This situation it's described in this known issue part. Try to use higher port like 5000 like in this example
It might look like it just hangs, but you need a separate terminal window. Maybe it works correctly but you have to use another terminal
