This example demonstrates how to use Rewrite
annotations.
You will need to make sure your Ingress targets exactly one Ingress controller by specifying the ingress.class annotation, and that you have an ingress controller running in your cluster.
Rewriting can be controlled using the following annotations:
Name | Description | Values |
---|---|---|
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target | Target URI where the traffic must be redirected | string |
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect | Indicates if the location section is only accessible via SSL (defaults to True when Ingress contains a Certificate) | bool |
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect | Forces the redirection to HTTPS even if the Ingress is not TLS Enabled | bool |
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root | Defines the Application Root that the Controller must redirect if it's in / context |
string |
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex | Indicates if the paths defined on an Ingress use regular expressions | bool |
!!! attention
Starting in Version 0.22.0, ingress definitions using the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target
are not backwards compatible with previous versions. In Version 0.22.0 and beyond, any substrings within the request URI that need to be passed to the rewritten path must explicitly be defined in a capture group.
!!! note
Captured groups are saved in numbered placeholders, chronologically, in the form $1
, $2
... $n
. These placeholders can be used as parameters in the rewrite-target
annotation.
!!! note
Please see the FAQ for Validation Of path
Create an Ingress rule with a rewrite annotation:
$ echo '
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
name: rewrite
namespace: default
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: rewrite.bar.com
http:
paths:
- path: /something(/|$)(.*)
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
backend:
service:
name: http-svc
port:
number: 80
' | kubectl create -f -
In this ingress definition, any characters captured by (.*)
will be assigned to the placeholder $2
, which is then used as a parameter in the rewrite-target
annotation.
For example, the ingress definition above will result in the following rewrites:
rewrite.bar.com/something
rewrites torewrite.bar.com/
rewrite.bar.com/something/
rewrites torewrite.bar.com/
rewrite.bar.com/something/new
rewrites torewrite.bar.com/new
Create an Ingress rule with an app-root annotation:
$ echo "
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root: /app1
name: approot
namespace: default
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: approot.bar.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: http-svc
port:
number: 80
" | kubectl create -f -
