<p>I have installed nignx ingress helm chat on CentOS 8 Kubernetes 1.17 with containerd, ingress pod failed with below error message. Same helm chat worked on CentOS 7 with Docker.</p>

<p>if I remove this from deployment, ingress pod is starting.</p>

<pre><code> capabilities:

            - NET_BIND_SERVICE
            drop:

<p>I like to understand why same helm chart failing on containerd </p>

<pre><code>containerd --version
containerd github.com/containerd/containerd 1.2.0

<p>adding deployment.</p>

<p>I experienced the same.  the solution is not to remove the capability section but to change the runAsuser</p>

<p>if you download the new release (0.27.1) deployment of the Nginx ingress controller, you can see:</p>

<pre><code>       securityContext:
         allowPrivilegeEscalation: true
         capabilities:
           drop:
             - ALL
           add:
             - NET_BIND_SERVICE
         # www-data -&gt; 101
         runAsUser: 101
</code></pre>

<p>The "runAsUser" line has a different user id. the user id in my old deployment was different so I got this error. Since I Changed the runAsUser to ID 101, the id in the kubernetes definitions is the same as the ID used in the new Nginx image and it works again :) </p>
