I have a React front-end and Flask API as back-end.
I wish to have both front-end and back-end routes accessible at same address. E.g frontend at myapp.web.com
and backend at myapp.web.com/api
.
It will have different deployments for them. I want to know how to do this.
Yes, you can have the same domain that can point to multiple services based on the path.
Normally this can help you to resolve the CORS
issue.
API
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
name: backend-ingress
namespace: backend-api
spec:
rules:
- host: myapp.web.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: backend-service-name
port:
number: 80
path: /api
pathType: Prefix
tls:
- hosts:
- myapp.web.com
secretName: my-secret-tls
Frontend ingress
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
name: frontend-service
namespace: frontend-service
spec:
rules:
- host: myapp.web.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: frontend-service-name
port:
number: 80
path: /
pathType: Prefix
tls:
- hosts:
- myapp.web.com
secretName: my-secret-tls
so in this case, all the requests that start with /api
will route to the backend app and rest of the requests will route to frontend.
