<p>I set up a k8s cluster using kubeadm (v1.18) on an Ubuntu virtual machine.
Now I need to add an Ingress Controller. I decided for nginx (but I'm open for other solutions). I installed it according to the <a href="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/" rel="noreferrer">docs</a>, section "bare-metal":</p>

<p><code>kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-0.31.1/deploy/static/provider/baremetal/deploy.yaml</code></p>

<p>The installation seems fine to me:</p>

<p><code>kubectl get all -n ingress-nginx</code></p>

</code></pre>

<p>However, when trying to apply a custom Ingress, I get the following error:</p>

<p><code>Error from server (InternalError): error when creating "yaml/xxx/xxx-ingress.yaml": Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook "validate.nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io": Post https://ingress-nginx-controller-admission.ingress-nginx.svc:443/extensions/v1beta1/ingresses?timeout=30s: Temporary Redirect</code></p>

<p>Any idea what could be wrong?</p>

<p>I suspected DNS, but other NodePort services are working as expected and DNS works within the cluster.</p>

<p>The only thing I can see is that I don't have a default-http-backend which is mentioned in the <a href="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/baremetal/#over-a-nodeport-service" rel="noreferrer">docs here</a>. However, this seems normal in my case, according to <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm/issues/680#issuecomment-365524769" rel="noreferrer">this thread</a>.</p>

<p>Last but not least, I tried as well the <a href="https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/installation/installation-with-manifests/" rel="noreferrer">installation with manifests</a> (after removing ingress-nginx namespace from previous installation) and the <a href="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/" rel="noreferrer">installation via Helm chart</a>. It has the same result.</p>

<p>I'm pretty much a beginner on k8s and this is my playground-cluster. So I'm open to alternative solutions as well, as long as I don't need to set up the whole cluster from scratch.</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong>
With "applying custom Ingress", I mean:
<code>kubectl apply -f &lt;myIngress.yaml&gt;</code></p>

<p>Content of myIngress.yaml</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress

  name: my-ingress
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /

<p>Another option you have is to remove the Validating Webhook entirely:</p>
<p><code>kubectl delete -A ValidatingWebhookConfiguration ingress-nginx-admission</code></p>
<p>I found I had to do that on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/62044090/2286960">another issue</a>, but the workaround/solution works here as well.</p>
<p>This isn't the best answer; the best answer is to figure out why this doesn't work. But at some point, you live with workarounds.</p>
<p>I'm installing on Docker for Mac, so I used the <code>cloud</code> rather than <code>baremetal</code> version:</p>
<p><code>kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v0.34.1/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml</code></p>
