title: Could not access Kubernetes Ingress in Browser on Windows Home with Minikube?
body: <p>I am facing the problem which is that I could not access the Kubernetes Ingress on the Browser using it's IP. I have installed K8s and Minikube on Windows 10 Home.</p>
  <p>I am following this official document - <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/ingress-minikube/" rel="noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/ingress-minikube/</a></p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>First I created the deployment by running this below command on Minikube.</p>
  <p>kubectl create deployment web --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>The deployment get created which can be seen on the below image:

  <ol start="2">
  <li><p>Next, I exposed the deployment that I created above. For this I ran the below command.</p>
  <p>kubectl expose deployment web --type=NodePort --port=8080</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>This created a service which can be seen by running the below command:</p>
  <pre><code>kubectl get service web
  </code></pre>
  <p>The screenshot of the service is shown below:

  <ol start="3">
  <li><p>I can now able to visit the service on the browser by running the below command:</p>
  <p>minikube service web</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>In the below screenshot you can see I am able to view it on the browser.

  <ol start="4">
  <li><p>Next, I created an Ingress by running the below command:</p>
  <p>kubectl apply -f <a href="https://k8s.io/examples/service/networking/example-ingress.yaml" rel="noreferrer">https://k8s.io/examples/service/networking/example-ingress.yaml</a></p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>By the way the ingress yaml code is:</p>
  <pre><code>apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
  kind: Ingress
  metadata:
    name: example-ingress
    annotations:
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
      spec:
        rules:
          - host: hello-world.info
            http:
              paths:
                - path: /
                  pathType: Prefix
                  backend:
                    service:
                      name: web
                      port:
                        number: 8080
  </code></pre>
  <p>The ingress gets created and I can verify it by running the below command:</p>
  <pre><code>kubectl get ingress
  </code></pre>
  <p>The screenshot for this is given below:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tb0yt.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tb0yt.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>The ingress ip is listed as <code>192.168.49.2</code>. So that means if I should open it in the browser then it should open, but unfortunately not. It is showing site can't be reached. See the below screeshot.</p>

  <p>What is the problem. Please provide me a solution for it?</p>
  <p>I also added the mappings on etc\hosts file.</p>
  <pre><code>192.168.49.2 hello-world.info
  </code></pre>
  <p>Then I also tried opening hello-world.info on the browser but no luck.</p>
  <p>In the below picture I have done ping to <code>hello-world.info</code> which is going to IP address 192.168.49.2. This shows etc\hosts mapping is correct:</p>

  <p>I also did curl to minikube ip and to <code>hello-world.info</code> and both get timeout. See below image:

  <p>The <code>kubectl describe services web</code> provides the following details:</p>
  <pre><code>Name:                     web
  Namespace:                default
