ingress controller not working on GKE

[rawlingsj]

not sure yet what the cause is but this issue can be tracked here now.

we have a discussion going on the nginx controller which this issue is linked to nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress#41 (comment)

Not only in GKE, but also in a custom cluster installation.

I've just tried fabric8 on google cloud using the original nginx ingress controller which failed, I still suspect because of the dockerhub tag overwrite issue linked above.

FWIW I also quickly created a kubernetes cluster on GKE using https://stackpoint.io/ who deploy a HAproxy instead of the nginx one. This worked just fine!

Until things are stabilised with the nginx image you might want to turn to https://stackpoint.io/. After creating a cluster on Google cloud and following the quickstart guide to connect to the cluster from the CLI I was able to run

gofabric8 deploy --pv=false

Persistence isn't supported on google cloud yet by stackpoint hence the extra flag above but will be soon. It's a great way to get up an running with kubernetes on the public cloud so might be worth looking at until we figure out the problems with nginx.

After the above the fabric8 console opened up correctly.

I'm facing the following error

Is it relevant to ingress controller, or something else?

Also there is another issue with new fabric8 installation:

./gofabric8 deploy -d cluster.local
Deploying fabric8 to your Kubernetes installation at http://localhost:8080 for domain cluster.local in namespace fabric8
...
Deploying ingress controller on node 192.168.206.169 use its external ip when configuring your wildcard DNS.
...
Opening URL http://fabric8.fabric8.192.168.206.169.xip.io

Previously Opening URL was http://fabric8.fabric8.cluster.local.
How can I get domain name back?

[it-svit]

Also I'm using fabric8 namespace, but I see that fabric8 console is trying to access default namespace.

http://fabric8.fabric8.192.168.206.169.xip.io/kubernetes/namespace/fabric8/apps?q=

@it-svit ok so I think there's a few issues you've raised here. It might be worth splitting a few into separate issues so they're easier to investigate. But on the domain question..

the domain is now defaulted to use xip but can be overridden in the exposecontroller config map https://github.com/fabric8io/exposecontroller#automatic

[it-svit]

@rawlingsj Could you please help me with splitting issues? I can't distinguish which one should be splitted.

[rawlingsj]

@it-svit sure...

[rawlingsj]

@it-svit ok that should do it - will make it easier to track too

[it-svit]

@rawlingsj Thank you a lot!
