Haproxy 2.2.9 not passing down the full url to kubernetes ingress



dietpi@jump02:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost myapp.myproject.local
127.0.1.1 jump02
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Step 1: Confirm ingress routes are working as expected
Here is something important about how my ingress rules are working, it is important that the user inputs the URL url path to hit the correct server:

dietpi@jump02:~$ curl myapp.myproject.local
404 page not found
dietpi@jump02:~$ curl myapp.myproject.local/desktop
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.22.1</center>
</body>
</html>
dietpi@jump02:~$ curl myapp.myproject.local/desktop/
DESKTOP SITE WORKS
dietpi@jump02:~$ curl myapp.myproject.local/mobile/
MOBILE SITE WORKS AS WELL

Step 2: try to access the ingress routes through haproxy

$ curl http://mypersonalsite.duckdns.org:12434/desktop/
404 page not found
$ curl http://mypersonalsite.duckdns.org:12434/mobile/404 page not found

Ok so the good news is that the haproxy is listening on port 12434 and I know for sure that the 404 error is actually being returned by the Traefic ingress (due to experience) - unfortunately I cannot view any logs from Traefic due to a misconfiguration on the latest implementation of Kubernetes done by K3s…

I checked the logs of the servers running nginx and the request never makes it to them. This suggests that there is a configuration issue in haproxy, the rest of the url (the “/desktop/” part) is not being sent from haproxy to the kubernetes ingress backend, and the kubernetes backed responds to haproxy with a 404 not found. How do I get the full url including the /desktop/ part of the url that I would type into the browser to flow thru haproxy?

Thanks

here is what my ingress for the /desktop looks like, its the same thing for mobile

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: webserver-desktop
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "traefik"
    #Leaving this as a reference comment in case I want to rewrite urls in the future
    traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /desktop
spec:
  rules:
    - host: "myapp.myproject.local"
      http:
        paths:
          - pathType: Prefix
            path: /desktop
            backend:
              service:
                name: webserver-desktop
                port:
                  number: 80

Traefik almost certainly requires the host header to be myapp.myproject.local as oppossed to mypersonalsite.duckdns.org:12434 which curl will by default send here.

So, in backend be-myproject rewrite the host header to that:

http-request set-header Host myapp.myproject.local

Thanks Lukas, you’re a reverse proxy genius.
