HostPort

In HostPort type Ingress, HAProxy pods are run via a Kubernetes deployment named voyager-${ingress-name} with hostNetwork: true. A headless Service is also created for the HAProxy pods. To enable this, apply the ingress.appscode.com/type: HostPort annotation on a Ingress object.

How It Works

  • First, install Voyager operator in your cluster following the steps here.

  • Now, deploy test servers using this script script.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/v12.0.0/docs/examples/ingress/types/hostport/deploy-servers.sh | bash

deployment "nginx" created
service "web" exposed
deployment "echoserver" created
service "rest" exposed
  • Now, create an Ingress object running
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/v12.0.0/docs/examples/ingress/types/hostport/ing.yaml

Please note the annotaiton on ingress:

  annotations:
    ingress.appscode.com/type: HostPort
$ kubectl get pods,svc

  • Now, ssh into the minikube vm and run the following commands from host:
$ minikube ssh
