Kubernetes NGINX-ingress returns 404 - nginx

Question

I'm a k8s newbie and I am trying to expose a port from the cluster into the local network.
I've tried to do it with metallb config layer2 + load balancer controller and this runs ok.
I have set up a 3-node environment with kubespray.
((192.168.0.1[5,6,7]))
However, I'm trying to expose an api with NodePort and NGINX-Ingress. The nodeport api service is running ok (i can make successfull requests via NODE_IP:NODE_nodeport). But if I try this ingress configuration it justs keeps telling me "connection refused":
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-api
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
spec:
rules:
- host: "k8s.customhostname.com" # solves to 192.168.0.17 which has a running pod with the api.
http:
paths:
- path: /test
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: svc-api
port:
number: 8080
Then i check the services:
Name: svc-smouapimapes
Namespace: smouapi
Labels: app=apimapes
Annotations: <none>
Selector: app=apimapes
Type: ClusterIP
IP: 10.233.26.225
Port: springboot 8080/TCP
TargetPort: 8080/TCP
Endpoints: 10.233.90.4:8080,10.233.92.8:8080
Session Affinity: None
Events: <none>
And then check the ingress:
Name: ingress-smouapimapes
Namespace: smouapi
Address: 192.168.0.17
Default backend: default-http-backend:80 (<error: endpoints "default-http-backend" not found>)
Rules:
Host Path Backends
---- ---- --------
k8s.nexusgeografics.com
/test svc-smouapimapes:8080 10.233.90.4:8080,10.233.92.8:8080)
Annotations: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: false
Events: <none>
Whenever i call :
curl -I http://k8s.nexusgeografics.com/test
# CONNECTION REFUSED
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Answer 1

Try adding the following in the Nginx config ingress-smouapimapes.
Add annotation :
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
And instead of this path: /test add path: /test(/|$)(.*)

Enin, you should configure the domain k8s.nexusgeografics.com to be resolved to the ip that providing the nginx-ingress service, thus, you can access your service through nginx-ingress.
