<p>I have a couple of applications, which runs in Docker containers (all on the same VM).
In front of them, I have an nginx container as a reverse proxy.
Now I want to migrate that to Kubernetes. </p>

<p>When I start them by docker-composer locally it works like expected.
On Kubernetes not.</p>

<h3>nginx.conf</h3>

<pre><code>http {
        server {
                location / {
                        proxy_pass http://app0:80;
                }

                location /app1/ {
                        proxy_pass http://app1:80;
                        rewrite ^/app1(.*)$ $1 break;
                }

                location /app2/ {
                        proxy_pass http://app2:80;
                        rewrite ^/app2(.*)$ $1 break;
                }
        }
}
</code></pre>

<h3>edit: nginx.conf is not used on kubernetes. I have to use ingress-controller for that:</h3>

<p>I get the response on / (app0). Unfortunately, the subroutes are not working. What I´m doing wrong?</p>

<h3>EDIT</h3>

<p>I figured out. Ich missed installing the ingress controller. Like on this page (<a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/</a>) described, the ingress doesn't work if no controller is installed. 
I used ingress-nginx as a controller (<a href="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/</a>) because it was the best-described install guide which I was able to find and I didn´t want to use HELM.
I have one more question. How I can change my ingress that subdomains are working. 
For example, k8url.com/app1/subroute shows me every time the start page of my app1. 
And if I use a domain name proxying, it rewrites every time the domain name by the IP. </p>

<p>you have created deployment successfully but with that service should be there. nginx ngress on kubernetes manage traffic based on the service.</p>

<p>so flow goes like </p>

<pre><code>nginx-ingress &gt; service &gt; deployment pod.
</code></pre>

<p>you are missing to create the service for both applications and add the proper route based on that in kubernetes ingress.</p>
