#Lab Solution

Start by adding the repo and updating your local package list:

helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx

helm repo update

Search for the chart - version 4.2.0 installs app version 1.3.0, and you can see the default values:

helm search repo ingress-nginx --versions

helm show values ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx --version 4.2.0

Install the chart to a custom namespace, which Helm will create if it doesn't exist; the f flag has the path to the local values file:

helm install -n ingress --create-namespace -f labs/helm/ingress-nginx/dev.yaml ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx --version 4.2.0

# the output docs include sample Ingress spec

Helm releases are namespaced - you won't see the ingress controller in the default namespace:

helm ls

helm ls -A

Check the Service to confirm the type and port:

kubectl get svc -n ingress

Browse to http://localhost:30040

And that's a production-grade 404 you're seeing 🙂

Back to the exercises.
