How to get Kubernetes Ingress Port 80 working on baremetal single node cluster

Question

I have a bare-metal kubernetes (v1.11.0) cluster created with kubeadm and working fine without any issues. Network with calico and made it a single node cluster

I recently used traefik.io to configure a project with similar requirements to yours.

So I'll show a basic solution with traefik and ingresses.

I dedicated a whole namespace (you can use kube-system), called traefik, and created a kubernetes serviceAccount:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: traefik
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  namespace: traefik
  name: traefik-ingress-controller

The traefik controller which is invoked by ingress rules requires a ClusterRole and its binding:

---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: traefik-ingress-controller
rules:
  - apiGroups:
      - ""
    resources:
      - services
      - endpoints
      - secrets
    verbs:
      - get
      - list
      - watch
  - apiGroups:
      - extensions
    resources:
      - ingresses
    verbs:
      - get
      - list
      - watch
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: traefik-ingress-controller
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: traefik-ingress-controller
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  namespace: traefik
  name: traefik-ingress-controller

The traefin controller will be deployed as daemonset (i.e. by definition one for each node in your cluster) and a Kubernetes service is dedicated to the controller:

kind: DaemonSet
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
metadata:
  name: traefik-ingress-controller
  namespace: traefik
  labels:
    k8s-app: traefik-ingress-lb
spec:
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        k8s-app: traefik-ingress-lb
        name: traefik-ingress-lb
    spec:
      serviceAccountName: traefik-ingress-controller
      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 60
      containers:
      - name: traefik-ingress-lb
        image: traefik
        ports:
        - name: http
          containerPort: 80
          hostPort: 80
        - name: admin
          containerPort: 8080
        securityContext:
          capabilities:
            drop:
            - ALL
            add:
            - NET_BIND_SERVICE
        args:
        - --api
        - --kubernetes
        - --logLevel=INFO
---
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  namespace: traefik
  name: traefik-ingress-service
spec:
  selector:
    k8s-app: traefik-ingress-lb
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
      name: web
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 8080
      name: admin

The final part requires you to create a service for each microservice in you project, here an example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  namespace: traefik
  name: my-svc-1
spec:
  selector:
    k8s-app: traefik-ingress-lb
  ports:
  - port: 80 
    targetPort: 8080

and also the ingress (set of rules) that will forward the request to the proper service:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  namespace: traefik
  name: ingress-ms-1
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
spec:
  rules:
  - host: my-address-url
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: my-svc-1
          servicePort: 80

In this ingress I wrote a host URL, this will be the entry point in your cluster, so you need to resolve the name to your master K8S node. If you have more nodes which could be master, then a loadbalancer is suggested (in this case the host URL will be the LB).

Take a look to kubernetes.io documentation to have clear the concepts for kubernetes. Also traefik.io is useful.

I hope this helps you.

In addition to the andswer of Nicola Ben , You have to define an externalIPs in your traefik service, just follow the steps of Nicola Ben and add a externalIPs section to the service "my-svc-1" .

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  namespace: traefik
  name: my-svc-1
spec:
  selector:
    k8s-app: traefik-ingress-lb
  ports:
  - port: 80 
    targetPort: 8080
  externalIPs:
  - <IP_OF_A_NODE>

And you can define more than on externalIP.
