I am running a 2-node K8s cluster on OVH Bare Metal Servers. I’ve set up MetalLB and Nginx-Ingress.The 2 servers both have public IPs and are not in the same network segment. I’ve used one of the IPs as the entrypoint for the LB. The deployments I created 3 nginx containers & services to test the forwarding.
When I use host based routing, the endpoints are reachable via the internet, but when I use path based forwarding, only the / path is reachable. For the rest, I get the default backend.
My host based Ingress resource:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-resource-2
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: nginx.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: nginx-deploy-main
port:
number: 80
- host: blue.nginx.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: nginx-deploy-blue
port:
number: 80
- host: green.nginx.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: nginx-deploy-green
port:
number: 80
The path based Ingress resource:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-resource-3
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: nginx.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: nginx
port:
number: 80
- path: /blue
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: nginx-deploy-blue
port:
number: 80
- path: /green
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: nginx-deploy-green
port:
number: 80
The endpoints are all reachable in both cases

I’m not sure what the issue is, and I can’t figure out why it’s working when I use different hosts, and not working when I try to use different paths.
I thought it could be resource limits, but I only have the requests, no limits. There is already a default IngressClass
I installed the ingress controller via manifests following the steps here

I'm not sure if the issue was in how I had deployed the NGINX Ingress Controller, but I tried using the Ingress-nginx controller, and the ingress objects work perfectly well.
I will still try again with the NGINX Ingress Controller just to be sure, but for now the routing is behaving as expected with the other ingress controller.
Thanks for your help guys. I will update if I get it to work with the original Ingress Controller.
I believe the reason is that the
nginx
service you have deployed for "blue" and "green" deployments are not serving anything on the/blue
and/green
endpoints. You need to create these endpoints insidenginx
so that they become valid. Your ingress objects appear fine.That’s also why you see
/
working in all cases since by defaultnginx
is hosting a web page on the path/
but not on the paths/blue
and/green
. Simply creating the respective endpoints in your services fornginx
should fix the problem.Based on the comments from zer0 answered, try:
Page with different font color should response when your browse to
http://nginx.example.com/blue
