My learning of Ingress and mistakes.

I used Django notes-app to practice the ingress implementation on a minikube cluster.

Firstly, I deployed the django notes-app using deployment.yaml and created the ClusterIP service for it and to see the actual magic of the Ingress I additionally used a deployment of nginx.

Everything was running fine without the ingress but when I create the Ingress.yaml after enabling it stopped working. why ?

Here are my mistakes:

• By mistake I rewrote the IngressClassname: tag/field

• I messed up with ports, because I didn’t fully understand the 80:80 part in the port-forward command

• And I wrongly assigned the /app path to the django because it used the / as the path in the configuration of the django notes app

How I fixed it:

• Double-checked and corrected the ingressClassName to match the controller.

• Made sure my Service and Ingress routed external traffic on port 80 to Django’s internal port 8000.

• Updated the Ingress path to / to match my Django app’s configuration.

Now, everything works as expected, and I can access my Django notes-app through the Ingress controller. If you’re facing similar issues, check your ports and ingress class.
