Example

In this example we deploy the NGINX Ingress Controller (edge) as a Deployment using the NGINX Ingress Operator for NGINX Plus.

Prerequisites

1. Have the NGINX Ingress Operator deployed in your cluster. Follow installation steps.
2. Build the NGINX Ingress Controller for Plus image and push it to a private repository following these instructions (Note: For the build process, if using Openshift, use the openshift-image-plus or openshift-image-nap-plus targets).

If you would like to use TransportServers, refer to this section for additional pre-requisites.

Running the example

1. Create a new namespace for our Ingress Controller instance:

   kubectl create -f ns.yaml
   

2. Create a new NginxIngressController resource that defines our NGINX Ingress Controller instance (Note: Update the image.repository field in the nginx-ingress-controller.yaml with your previously built image for NGINX Plus):

   kubectl create -f nginx-ingress-controller.yaml
   

This will deploy an NGINX Ingress Controller instance using a Deployment in the my-nginx-controller namespace.

3. Check if all resources were deployed:

   kubectl -n my-nginx-ingress  get all

   NAME                                                     DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AGE
   replicaset.apps/my-nginx-ingress-controller-666854fb5f   1         1         1       4s
   

For more information about how to configure the NGINX Ingress Controller, check the official documentation.

Remove

1. Delete the NginxIngressController:

   kubectl delete -f nginx-ingress-controller.yaml
   

2. Delete the namespace:

   kubectl delete namespace my-nginx-ingress
   

TransportServers

A GlobalConfiguration resource is used to specify the TCP/UDP listeners and is required by TransportServers. To use TransportServers, you must create a GlobalConfiguration resource after creating the namespace and before starting the Operator.

Step 1. namespace
Step 2. global configuration <--- in this order
Step 3. ingress controller
...

kubectl apply -f global-configuration.yaml

Then update the NginxIngressController to use the GlobalConfiguration by adding the following config to nginx-ingress-controller.yaml

   globalConfiguration: my-nginx-ingress/nginx-configuration

For more information, check the official documentation.
