<p>I have the following configuration:</p>

<p>daemonset:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
  name: nginx-ingress
  namespace: nginx-ingress
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx-ingress
  template:

      labels:
        app: nginx-ingress
    spec:
      serviceAccountName: nginx-ingress
      containers:
      - image: nginx/nginx-ingress:1.4.2-alpine
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        name: nginx-ingress
        ports:
        - name: http
          containerPort: 80
          hostPort: 80
        - name: https
          containerPort: 443
          hostPort: 443
        env:
        - name: POD_NAMESPACE
          valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: metadata.namespace
        - name: POD_NAME
          valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: metadata.name
        args:
          - -nginx-configmaps=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/nginx-config
          - -default-server-tls-secret=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/default-server-secret 
</code></pre>

<p>main config:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: nginx-config
  namespace: nginx-ingress
data:
  proxy-set-headers: "nginx-ingress/custom-headers"
  proxy-connect-timeout: "11s"
  proxy-read-timeout: "12s"
  client-max-body-size: "5m"
  gzip-level: "7"
  use-gzip: "true"
  use-geoip2: "true"
</code></pre>

<p>custom headers:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: custom-headers
  namespace: nginx-ingress
data:
  X-Forwarded-Host-Test: "US"
  X-Using-Nginx-Controller: "true"
  X-Country-Name: "UK" 
</code></pre>

<p>I am encountering the following situations:</p>

<ul>
<li>If I change one of "proxy-connect-timeout", "proxy-read-timeout" or "client-max-body-size", I can see the changes appearing in the generated configs in the controller pods</li>
<li>If I change one of "gzip-level" (even tried "use-gzip") or "use-geoip2", I see no changes in the generated configs (eg: "gzip on;" is always commented out and there's no other mention of zip, the gzip level doesn't appear anywhere)</li>
<li>The custom headers from "ingress-nginx/custom-headers" are not added at all (was planning to use them to pass values from geoip2)</li>
</ul>

<p>Otherwise, all is well, the controller logs show that my only backend (an expressJs app that dumps headers) is server correctly, I get expected responses and so on.</p>

<p>I've copied as much as I could from the examples on github, making a minimum of changes but no results (including when looking at the examples for custom headers).</p>

<p>Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Use ingress rule annotations.</p>

<pre><code>Example:
 apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: my-ingress
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /

      more_set_headers "server: hide";
      more_set_headers "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff";

      more_set_headers "X-Xss-Protection: 1";

<p>I used nginx server 1.15.9</p>
