Overview

The default nginx-based implementation of a Kubernetes ingress controller. It is build around the Ingress API resource and uses a ConfigMap to store the nginx configuration. The ingress-nginx ingress controller watches Ingress objects from all namespaces. It can be restricted to watch a specific namespace with --watch-namespace.

Installation

https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/

Vendor-Specific

Docker Desktop Kubernetes

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v0.35.0/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

This deploys ingress-nginx in an "ingress-nginx" namespace. It creates dedicated service accounts, configmap, roles, service, deployment, validating webhook, and jobs to create the SSL certificate used by the admission webhook.

Installation with Helm

https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/#using-helm

Note that by default, the ingress controller is installed in the default namespace.

helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
helm install ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx
