Simple ingress from host with microk8s?

Question

I would like to do two things with MicroK8s:

1. Route the host machine (Ubuntu 18.04) ports 80/443 to Microk8s
2. Use something like the simple ingress defi

Answer 1

When using a LoadBalancer (aka metallb) there is an important step missing in almost all docs:

The ingress-controller needs to be exposed to the metallb LoadBalancer.

kubectl expose deploy nginx-deployment --port 80 --type LoadBalancer

This can be done by a yaml as well but its way easier to use the cli.

After days of googling i finally came across this tutorial video that opened my eyes.
