<p>We're trying to install the <code>ingress-nginx</code> controller onto an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster, following the steps from the <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/ingress-internal-ip#create-an-ingress-controller" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Azure documentation</a>.</p>
<p>Kubernetes version: 1.21.1
Chart version: 3.36.</p>
<p>The command we're using:</p>
<pre><code>SET REGISTRY_NAME=

kubectl create namespace %NAMESPACE%
kubectl apply -n %NAMESPACE% -f .\limitRanges.yaml

<p>If I look at the pod logs for the job <code>nginx-ingress-ingress-nginx-admission-create</code>, I see the following log:</p>
<pre><code>W0909 06:34:24.393154       1 client_config.go:608] Neither --kubeconfig nor --master was specified.  Using the inClusterConfig.  This might not work.
{&quot;err&quot;:&quot;an error on the server (\&quot;\&quot;) has prevented the request from succeeding (get secrets nginx-ingress-ingress-nginx-admission)&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:&quot;fatal&quot;,&quot;msg&quot;:&quot;error getting secret&quot;,&quot;source&quot;:&quot;k8s/k8s.go:109&quot;,&quot;time&quot;:&quot;2021-09-09T06:34:34Z&quot;}
</code></pre>
<p>I'm a little lost on where to look for additional information. I can see the error seems to be relating to getting a secret, and I can't see that secret under a <code>kubectl get secrets -A</code> command. I'm assuming the <code>\&quot;\&quot;</code> portion is supposed to be the error message, but it's not helping.</p>
<p>I have been able to install this chart successfully on a brand new, throwaway cluster. My guess is that it's an RBAC or permissions type problem, but without anything further about where to look, I'm out of ideas.</p>

<p>You need to Quote the Values. I would also suggest to simplify the code bcs all the values are set by default inside the <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/charts/ingress-nginx/values.yaml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Helm Chart of ingress-nginx</a>:</p>
<pre><code>SET NAMESPACE=ingress-basic

kubectl create namespace %NAMESPACE%
kubectl apply -n %NAMESPACE% -f .\limitRanges.yaml

helm install nginx-ingress ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx ^
    --namespace %NAMESPACE% ^
    --version &quot;4.0.1&quot; ^
    -set controller.replicaCount=&quot;2&quot; ^
    -f internal-load-balancer.yaml ^
    --debug
