nginx-ingress sending traffic to nginx in pod but not returning assets

Question

Basically, I'm having difficulty getting nginx to serve the npm build from a CRA web app that is at the subpath /new-admin.

I do have in the package.json "homepage": "/new-admin" and <Route basename={process.env.PUBLIC_URL}> in the index.js. Works fine in development, but now that I'm trying to make a staging/production copy it isn't and I'm pretty sure it is due to the ./nginx/default.conf. Of the various configurations I've tried, none have worked and I either get:

500 Internal Server Error
<Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'

This is what I have:

# ingress.yaml

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: "0"
    nginx.org/client-max-body-size: "500m"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
      rewrite ^(/admin)$ $1/ permanent;
  name: ingress-service-dev-admin
  namespace: default
spec:
  rules:
    - http:
        paths:
          - path: /admin/?(.*)
            backend:
              serviceName: admin-old-cluster-ip-service-dev
              servicePort: 4000

            backend:

            backend:

# Dockerfile for /new-admin/

FROM node:13-alpine as builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./package.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx
EXPOSE 4001
COPY ./nginx/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY --from=builder /app/build /usr/share/nginx/html

This version of the default.conf results in a 500 Internal Server Error:

# ./nginx/default.conf

server {
  listen 4001;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location /new-admin {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /new-admin/index.html;
  }
}

This is the associated nginx log:

[admin-new] 2020/10/05 20:31:49 [error] 28#28: *9 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/new-admin/index.html", client: 172.17.0.4, server: , request: "GET /new-admin/ HTTP/1.1", host: "192.168.64.5"
[admin-new] 172.17.0.4 - - [05/Oct/2020:20:31:49 +0000] "GET /new-admin/ HTTP/1.1" 500 579 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36" "192.168.64.1"

This version results in <Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<':

# ./nginx/default.conf

server {
  listen 4001;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
  }
}

This seems closest to being correct given it serves the index.html, just not the CSS and JS assets. It does show in the index.html, which should be correct:

<script src="/new-admin/static/js/2.c6b4376b.chunk.js"></script>
<script src="/new-admin/static/js/main.c24347bf.chunk.js"></script>

I've also noticed when it starts the Pod it says, despite the fact it is building the images from scratch.

Actually, came across this answer which was pretty much the exact issue I was experiencing:

React & nginx routing to subdirectory

So my final ./nginx/default.conf looked like this:

server {
  listen 4001;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location = /new-admin {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
  }

  location ~ ^/new-admin(.*) {
    try_files $1 $1/ /index.html =404;
  }
}
