Which Kubernetes ingress "wins" (tls and multiple ingresses for same host)? - ssl

Assume I have have two ingresses ingress-a and ingress-b for the same host but with different paths:
ingress-a:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
name: app-a
namespace: namespace-a
spec:
rules:
- host: myhost.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: app-a
servicePort: 8080
path: /path-a
tls:
- hosts:
- myhost.com
secretName: tls-a
ingress-b:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
name: app-b
namespace: namespace-b
spec:
rules:
- host: myhost.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: app-b
servicePort: 8080
path: /path-b
tls:
- hosts:
- myhost.com
secretName: tls-b
Now I need to update the certificate. Assume I create the new secret in tls-new but only update ingress-a to point to that. Which of the two ingresses would win?
I guess I should simply overwrite the existing secret but I am trying to understand how the rules for ingresses would work in the above scenario where two different tls secrets are being referenced for the same host.

NGINX and NGINX Plus Ingress controller for Kubernetes has support for mergeable Ingress Types.
A Master is declared using nginx.org/mergeable-ingress-type: master. A Master will process all configurations at the host level, which includes the TLS configuration, and any annotations which will be applied for the complete host. There can only be one ingress resource on a unique host that contains the master value. Paths cannot be part of the ingress resource.
A Minion is declared using nginx.org/mergeable-ingress-type: minion. A Minion will be used to append different locations to an ingress resource with the Master value. TLS configurations are not allowed. Multiple minions can be applied per master as long as they do not have conflicting paths. If a conflicting path is present then the path defined on the oldest minion will be used.
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: cafe-ingress-master
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
nginx.org/mergeable-ingress-type: "master"
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- cafe.example.com
secretName: cafe-secret
rules:
- host: cafe.example.com
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: cafe-ingress-coffee-minion
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
nginx.org/mergeable-ingress-type: "minion"
spec:
rules:
- host: cafe.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /coffee
backend:
serviceName: coffee-svc
servicePort: 80
The minion can not have TLS, only the master can have TLS and you change TLS in master.

From Ingress to IngressRoute with CertManager, HTTP01 Challenge and Let's Encrypt ClusterIssuer

I have a Kubernetes (v1.25.2) cluster running with cert-manager 1.11.0 and Traefik 2.9.6.
For some services I want Let's Encrypt to auto sign certificates. For some reason, it feels nicer, to use IngressRoute instead of Ingress. I just can't get the IngressRoute to create the certificate.
Now, I have the a ClusterIssuer:
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
name: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
acme:
server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
email: my#email.com
privateKeySecretRef:
name: letsencrypt-prod
solvers:
- http01:
ingress:
class: traefik
and, working, corresponding Ingress:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: myapp-name-websecure
annotations:
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
ingressClassName: traefik
rules:
- host: my.host.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: linkingservice
port:
number: 80
tls:
- hosts:
- my.host.com
secretName: some-secret-name-tls
This works, nice. Instead, with IngressRoute the base resource is this:
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
name: myapp-other-name-websecure
spec:
entryPoints:
- websecure
routes:
- match: Host(`other.host.com`)
kind: Rule
services:
- name: linkingservice
port: 80
tls:
# certResolver: ??? # resolve what? Doesn't link with the ClusterIssuer
# issuerRef: ??? # doesn't exist (anymore)
Now, I've tried to:
just as for the Ingress to use the annotations: cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod. Which is being ignored
use the tls.certResolver, which doesn't work, because it doesn't exist. Should I create one? I expect The ClusterIssuer to create the certificate and secret, just as it does for Ingress.
I also saw the issuerRef as option in the tls section, but that doesn't appear to exist.
I thought I read that the IngressRoute is like a layer on top of the k8s default Ingress, so it should be something logical/similar
FYI: the ClusterIssuer and Ingress will also work for Nginx, when you replace the solvers.http01.ingress.class with nginx, likewise for the Ingress's spec.ingressClassName. (perhaps also without, but I can't test)
Now, I did find a way, but still feels like more work than should be necessary. The thing here is to create the Certificate and link that to the ClusterIssuer, that certificate then creates a Secret. This secret needs to be added to the spec.tls.secretName, like:
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
name: my.host.com-cert
spec:
secretName: my.host.com-secret
issuerRef:
name: letsencrypt-prod
kind: ClusterIssuer
dnsNames:
- my.host.com
---
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
spec:
...
tls:
secretName: my.host.com-secret
I've also tried for, certResolver. But the CertificateResolver from cert-manager was discontinued in v0.15.0; alternatively the CertificateRequest, but this was also discontinued in cert-manager version 0.9.0. The suggested way seems to be the previous described one.
I revisited the Traefik deployment values.yaml where I found there is a field with certResolvers, from their file:
certResolvers:
letsencrypt:
# for challenge options cf. https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/
email: email#example.com
dnsChallenge:
# also add the provider's required configuration under env
# or expand then from secrets/configmaps with envfrom
# cf. https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers
provider: digitalocean
# add futher options for the dns challenge as needed
# cf. https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#dnschallenge
delayBeforeCheck: 30
resolvers:
- 1.1.1.1
- 8.8.8.8
tlsChallenge: true
httpChallenge:
entryPoint: "web"
# It has to match the path with a persistent volume
storage: /data/acme.json
Which makes me wonder. If you set this up, then probably the:
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
spec:
tls:
certResolver: letsencrypt
can work

How can I make one route public in kubernetes ingress with auth-url set?

I am playing a little bit with path-based routing via Kubernetes ingresses (we use Nginx ingress). We have one service up and running behind authentication via external service like the one in the first snippet. This service is already used by other services in our ecosystem, however, as the development progresses, the service now has management API and we need to turn off the authentication for specific paths. According to this answer, this is not possible for basic auth and, according to what I have tried (second snippet), it is not possible for authentication via external service either. Is there any other way to allow specific paths without authentication without completely rearchitecting ingresses and domains/paths?
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: path-based-routing-1
annotations:
kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx-external
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: http://authorizer.dev.svc.cluster.local
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- 'routing.example.com'
secretName: routing.example.com
rules:
- host: 'routing.example.com'
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: path-based-routing-1
servicePort: 80
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1

annotations:
kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: ""

nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:

Paths are not working in Kubernetes NGINX Ingress Controller

I have a Spring Boot application responsible for getting citizens and a NGINX Ingress controller configured with ssl-passthrough to expose my cluster to outside.
When I do:
https://myhostname.com/citizens
It perfectly works. This is the configuration I am using:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: nginx-ingress
namespace: default
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
spec:
rules:
- host: myhostname.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: myservice
servicePort: 443
But I would like to have something like:
https://myhostname.com/myservice/citizens
It would be something similar to math Simple fanout approach that is described in the kubernetes docs:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#simple-fanout
Therefore, in my Spring application I have configured a contextPath so when locally I do:
https://localhost:8080/myservice/citizens
I get the desired result
For NGINX I have set up the following:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: nginx-ingress
namespace: default
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- host: myhostname.com
http:
paths:
- path: /myservice
backend:
serviceName: myservice
servicePort: 443
What am I doing wrong?
Solution:
I've been researching a little and I've realized that the approach that I was trying to achieve is not possible with ssl-passthrough as the proxy is blind and it doesn't know the path to where route the traffic.
Therefore, the solution would be to use subdomains and not paths, because thanks to the SNI protocol, the NGINX controller will know to which hostname the client is trying to connect.
The final solution would be something similar to this
If your backend is expecting the whole path /myservice/citizens you can just use it to point it to the service without the rewrite-target directive, since it only dictates how URIs are going to be treated in the backend:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: nginx-ingress
namespace: default
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
spec:
rules:
- host: myhostname.com
http:
paths:
- path: /myservice/citizens
backend:
serviceName: myservice
servicePort: 443
Be aware that this assumes that your service is able to redirect requests to 8080, which is your backend listening port, so it has to match it.

TLS setup on K8S Ingress with Traefik

I have a setup that is not too much different than the user guide for use with k8s. For some reason I can only access http://app.minikube and not https://app.minikube.
Can someone look at my setup and see what I am obviously missing?
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: myapp
labels:
app: myapp
spec:
ports:
- name: http
port: 80
targetPort: 7777
selector:
app: myapp
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: myingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
spec:
rules:
- host: app.minikube
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: myapp
servicePort: http
tls:
- secretName: mytls
FYI, according to the Traefik user guide, the hosts definition in tls is unneeded, which is why I left it out.
The field hosts in the TLS configuration is ignored. Instead, the domains provided by the certificate are used for this purpose. It is recommended to not use wildcard certificates as they will match globally)
You're missing the hosts section:
tls:
- hosts:
- my-host.example.com
secretName: my-secret

Running Nexus in Kubernetes using ingress with path other than /

I have trouble running Nexus 3 in Kubernetes via ingress, when I specify a path other than "/". Nexus does not load fully when i visit the web portal as https://www.myportal.com/mypath. I have a true certificate. This is my ingress:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
ingress.kubernetes.io/add-base-url: "true"

spec:
rules:
- host: mynexus.com
http:
paths:
- path: /mypath
backend:
serviceName: mynexus-sonatype-nexus
servicePort: 9988
tls:
- hosts:
- mynexus.com
secretName: mynexus-cert-secret
