<p>My system: Ubuntu using microk8s kubectl</p>
<p>I'm taking an online course and have run into an issue I can't find a solution to. I can't  access the following URL internally in my application</p>
<p><a href="http://ingress-nginx-controller.ingress-nginx.svc.cluster.local" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ingress-nginx-controller.ingress-nginx.svc.cluster.local</a></p>
<p>I get the following error in my web browser</p>
<pre><code>&quot;page&quot;: &quot;/&quot;,
&quot;query&quot;: {},
&quot;buildId&quot;: &quot;development&quot;,
&quot;isFallback&quot;: false,

<p>and I get the following dump on node.</p>

<p><code>Error socket hang up</code>  error much always indicates the server closed the connection for various reason (not being able to process the request in time, or running into some error while processing the request, etc).</p>
<p>Check if  the library you are using isn’t sending requests asynchronously as  <code>pm.sendRequest()</code>  does.</p>
<p>Try to set the <code>Connection: keep-alive</code> header.
On the server side disable  <code>keepAliveTimeout</code>  by setting it equal to  <code>0</code>.
Another solution is to close free sockets in less than  <code>keepAliveTimeout</code>  value (by default it 5 seconds). The default http agent does not support such a capability (<code>timeout</code>  setting does not do it). So use  <a href="https://github.com/node-modules/agentkeepalive#readme" rel="nofollow noreferrer">agentkeepalive</a>  lib</p>
<pre><code>const HttpsAgent = require('agentkeepalive').HttpsAgent;

const agent = new HttpsAgent({
    freeSocketTimeout: 5000
});
</code></pre>
<p>More info: <a href="https://github.com/request/request/issues/2047" rel="nofollow noreferrer">connection-hang-up</a>.</p>
<p>Also if you used <strong><code>require('http')</code></strong> to consume <strong>https</strong> service and it showed &quot;<strong><code>socket hang up</code></strong>&quot;.</p>
<p>Try to change <strong><code>require('http')</code></strong> to <strong><code>require('https')</code></strong> instead, and it is working.</p>

<p>Overal it's not common to use ingress service internally within the cluster. Ingress resource is designed to manage external access to internal services.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note this is also a security concern as you are exposing the auth service (which is a backend service used by your UI layer) externally.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Your network load balancer has pending <code>External IP</code>.</p>
<p>MicroK8s comes with metallb, you can enable it like this:</p>
<pre><code>microk8s enable metallb
</code></pre>
<p> should turn into an actual IP address then.</p>
