<p>I'm working with microk8s using Kubernetes 1.19. The provided ingress.yaml does not work. Given my troubleshooting below, it seems like ngnix cannot connect to the default-http-backend. Microk8s was installed on a ubuntu 20.04 using snap. I know that there exists a ingress addon. But nonetheless, I would like it to work with this setup.</p>
<p><strong>microk8s kubectl get pods --all-namespaces</strong></p>
<pre><code>kube-ingress           default-http-backend-7744d88f46-45vp7        1/1     Running            0          53m

<h2>Issue</h2>
<p>As mentioned in the logs</p>
<pre><code>No service with name kube-ingress/default-http-backend found: services &quot;default-http-backend&quot; not found
</code></pre>
<p>The main issue here was the lack of <code>default-http-backend</code> service in <code>kube-ingress</code> namespace.</p>
<h2>Solution</h2>
<p>The solution here is to simply add the <code>default-http-backend</code> <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">service</a>.</p>
<p>You can create it with <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/connect-applications-service/#creating-a-service" rel="nofollow noreferrer">kubectl expose</a> or <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#defining-a-service" rel="nofollow noreferrer">yaml</a> file.</p>
