[SOLVED] Unable to use Ingress/Traefik in K3S version v1.23.6+k3s1 (418c3fa8)

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me, as I’m trying to troubleshoot issues with basic K3S setup with (default) Traefik-based ingress. I’m using K3S locally on my laptop running Fedora 35 (Fedora Linux 35 (Workstation Edition) x86_64, Kernel: 5.17.5-200.fc35.x86_64).

So the setup I’m trying to get to run is dead simple: single deployment with default Apache server, single service with ClusterIP and Ingress pointing to the service.

Deployment:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: apache-hello
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: apache-hello
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: apache-hello
        name: apache-hello
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: apache-hello
          image: httpd
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80

Service:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: apache-hello-service
  labels:
    run: apache-hello
spec:
  selector:
    app: apache-hello
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80

These two are running just fine:

> kubectl get pods -A

Deployment running fine:

So is service:

> kubectl describe services/apache-hello-service

Namespace:         default
Labels:            run=apache-hello

Selector:          app=apache-hello
Type:              ClusterIP
IP Family Policy:  SingleStack

Port:              <unset>  80/TCP
TargetPort:        80/TCP
Endpoints:         10.42.0.9:80
Session Affinity:  None
Events:            <none>

I can connect to the service directly using ClusterIP (running K3S locally, I’m actually on the node itself):

> curl -v http://10.43.31.41:80

I have also tested that port-forward option of kubectl:

> kubectl port-forward services/apache-hello-service 8080:80
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80

I can also check Apache logs:

> kubectl logs deployments/apache-hello

So yeah, I’m positive my Service and Deployment are working just fine. Now, when I try to add Ingress to the picture:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: apache-hello-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "traefik"
spec:
  rules:
  - host:
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: apache-hello-service
            port:
              number: 80

Installation seems to succeed:

> kubectl get ingress/apache-hello-ingress 
NAME                   CLASS    HOSTS   ADDRESS         PORTS   AGE
apache-hello-ingress   <none>   *       192.168.1.239   80      37m

> kubectl describe ingress/apache-hello-ingress

Annotations:  kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
Events:       <none>

But the problem is that whenever I try to use the ingress, I get “Bad Gateway” response like so:

> curl -v http://localhost:80
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:80...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)

Bad Gateway

I can’t see anything in the logs:

> kubectl -n kube-system logs deployments/traefik

+ iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -d 10.43.74.176/32 -p TCP -j MASQUERADE

This is what I can see in the description of Traefik service:

What is weird, I can’t connect using either of the IPs, names or ports (even NodePorts):

curl http://localhost:30976
Bad Gateway

Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong? All suggestions are welcome and any help appreciated!

Actually figured it out, I had to disable the firewalld service, as described here:

Restart of the whole system was also necessary - simply stopping service didn’t suffice.

Hello, where you able to re-enable the firewall somehow?

Type the following commands:

iptables --flush
iptables -tnat --flush
