configure haproxy ingress on k8s v19 for jenkins application on Redhat Linux 7.9 server

Question

I am deploying the Jenkins application using k8s v19 on Redhat 7.9 machine.I could able to connect to an application URL with port number(jenkins-test-ci.xyz.com:32419(node port).) but not able to log in via jenkins-test-ci.xyz.com.

I have configured Nodeport service and Ingress rule as below

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    run: jenkins-test-svc
  name: jenkins-test-svc
  namespace: ci-cd
spec:
  type: NodePort

      port: 8080
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 8080
    - name: jnlp
      port: 50000
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 50000
  selector:
    app: jenkins-test
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: jenkins-test
  namespace: ci-cd

            name: jenkins-test-svc
            port:
              number: 8080

Please suggest to fix this issue.Thank you

What error do you get when trying to log in by `Ingress` resource? How exactly did you deploy the `HAProxy`? Have you tried to expose other workload like `nginx` with your `HAProxy`? Does it work? — Dawid Kruk, Jan 06 '21 at 15:03
I deployed haproxy-ingress controller github.com/haproxytech/kubernetes-ingress" and error which i got as below [root@xyz deployments]# curl jenkins-test-ci.xyz.com curl: (7) Failed connect to jenkins-test-ci.xyz.com:80; Connection refused [root@xyz deployments]# kubectl get svc -n ci-cd NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE jenkins-test-svc NodePort 10.97.1.1 8080:32454/TCP,50000:30251/TCP 9m34s , but i could able to login using url:nodeport.

Without additional information regarding (like i the actual setup of your HAProxy Ingress controller it could be hard to pinpoint the actual issue.

There are conflicting information in your question related to the provisioning of your HAProxy Ingress Controller:

Logs from your question are pointing to:
- Github.com: Jcmoraisjr: Haproxy-ingress
A comment that you made is pointing to:
- Github.com: Haproxytech: Kubernetes-ingress

The most probable cause that you are getting connection refused is that the Service of your HAProxy Ingress Controller is configured in a way that doesn't allow you to just hit the: http://jenkins-test-ci.xyz.com (port 80).

Assuming that you followed the documentation (either one), both solutions use Service of type NodePort to allow the inbound traffic to hit the controller. This is inherently forcing your Ingress resources to be available on node_ip:nodeport (nodeport port range: 30000-32767):

You can check how your Ingress controller is exposed by running:

$ kubectl get svc -n NAMESPACE

The output of above command should be similar to:

NAME                      TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                                     AGE
haproxy-ingress           NodePort    10.233.39.4     <none>        80:32149/TCP,443:30011/TCP,1024:31532/TCP   3h56m
ingress-default-backend   ClusterIP   10.233.18.215   <none>        8080/TCP                                    3h56m

Following this example if you have an app exposed with an Ingress resource and you would like to connect to it, you would need to connect to node_ip:32149 (see the ports on the haproxy-ingress).

To be able to expose your Jenkins on ports like 80 and/or 443 with an Ingress resource you will need to use Service of type LoadBalancer. The Service that is used to expose your HAProxy Ingress Controller will need to be changed from NodePort to LoadBalancer type.

This Service (LoadBalancer) will require you to "provide" an IP address that could be allocated for this specific reason. With provider managed Kubernetes solution like GKE, EKS or AKS this process is automated. For solutions that are on premise you will need to use MetalLB:

Kubernetes does not offer an implementation of network load-balancers (Services of type LoadBalancer) for bare metal clusters. The implementations of Network LB that Kubernetes does ship with are all glue code that calls out to various IaaS platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure…). If you’re not running on a supported IaaS platform (GCP, AWS, Azure…), LoadBalancers will remain in the “pending” state indefinitely when created.

Bare metal cluster operators are left with two lesser tools to bring user traffic into their clusters, “NodePort” and “externalIPs” services. Both of these options have significant downsides for production use, which makes bare metal clusters second class citizens in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

MetalLB aims to redress this imbalance by offering a Network LB implementation that integrates with standard network equipment, so that external services on bare metal clusters also “just work” as much as possible.

Metallb.universe.tf (you can find in this link the configuration and usage examples)

Thanks for the information .The above issue got fixed after schedule pods on the Kubernetes control-plane master node(Haproxy ingress controller). command executed:- kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43147941/allow-scheduling-of-pods-on-kubernetes-master — Rituraj, Jan 12 '21 at 12:40
