A Kubernetes operator to launch ingresses for services.

A number of environment variables must be configured. If you're using the deployment.yaml file, you will find them towards the end of the file.

WATCH_NAMESPACE: apigw-operator-system
ENABLE_TLS: true
TLS_SECRET_NAME: ingresssecret
INGRESS_CLASS_NAME: nginx

Install operator and CRD:

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

An example CR is found at config/samples/operator_v1_apigw.yaml. Apply it with:

kubectl apply -f config/samples/operator_v1_apigw.yaml

The custom resource's properties are:

• host: Required. URL to host the access point on.
• path: Required. Path within the host to host the access point on.
• service: Required. Name of the Kubernetes service.
• port: Required. Internal port the service is listening on.
• auth: Optional. A structure to configure authentication. If left empty, authentication is disabled. Must be disabled if INGRESS_CLASS_NAME is not nginx, or resources will result in error. Has the following properties:
  • type: basic or none (disabled).
  • basic: Structure for basic authentication. Has the following properties:
    • user
    • password

A valid sample spec configuration is:

...
spec:
  host: foo.bar.com
  path: /
  service: myservice
  port: 9080

Another valid sample (requires nginx as INGRESS_CLASS_NAME):

...
spec:
  host: foo.bar.com
  path: /
  service: myservice
  port: 9080
  auth:
    type: basic
    basic:
      user: user
      password: password

This section is for convenience purposes and briefly recaps some commands used in operator development.

Generate yaml resource files (run this after editing *_types.go files):

make generate

Generate CRD manifests (run this after editing //+kubebuilder annotations):

make manifests

Run operator locally outside the cluster, for testing purposes (export required envs first):

make install run

Generate deployment.yaml file (remember to configure env and image in the Deployment resource):

./bin/kustomize build config/default > deployment.yaml
