How to Setup Haproxy Ingress Controller on Kubernetes

Clone Haproxy Ingress Github Repository:

git clone https://github.com/haproxytech/kubernetes-ingress.git

Deploy the Controller:

kubectl apply -f kubernetes-ingress/deploy/haproxy-ingress.yaml

Verify the namespace, pods and services running for ingress controller:

kubectl get ns

You must have new namespace created for ingress ie haproxy-controller.

kubectl -n haproxy-controller get pods -o wide

All pods should be running. Also verify the service type.

kubectl -n haproxy-controller get svc

By default, haproxy uses nodeport service type, if you want to change it to LoadBalancer type, edit the deployment file “haproxy-ingress.yaml”, change the service type and reapply it.

Once the ingress controller is configured, you can start creating ingress rules for your applications.

Hope you have got an idea how to setup haproxy ingress controller.
