nugetminer23's questions

so I just got started digging into minikube after having problems with the docker-desktop here and there. I am following https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/ingress-minikube/, but I'm running into a problem.

I did exactly what the tutorial explains:

1. Enable the ingress addon in minikube (Does this work with self-deployed ingress controller installed via helm as well, by the way?)
2. Deployed an application
3. Created the corresponding Ingress configuration

I verified all is available, and end up with the following output of kubectl get ingress:

NAME              CLASS    HOSTS              ADDRESS        PORTS   AGE
example-ingress   <none>   hello-world.info   192.168.49.2   80      87m

However, when trying to access hello-world.info (either that, setup in my hosts file, or 192.168.49.2 directly, just for connectivity testing), I'm getting absolutely nothing besides request timeouts. The logs of my ingress-controller also don't mention any failed connection attempts.

The connection works just fine when manually starting a tunnel via minikube service ingress-nginx-controller-admission --namespace=kube-system.

Here's the output of minikube profile list:

|----------|-----------|---------|--------------|------|---------|---------|-------|
| Profile  | VM Driver | Runtime |      IP      | Port | Version | Status  | Nodes |
|----------|-----------|---------|--------------|------|---------|---------|-------|
| minikube | docker    | docker  | 192.168.49.2 | 8443 | v1.20.2 | Running |     1 |
|----------|-----------|---------|--------------|------|---------|---------|-------|

I'm running this example on a Windows machine via the docker-desktop runtime.

Where am I going wrong? My ultimate goal is to enable a docker-desktop like experience via my ingress. I don't want to have to manually enable / disable tunnels to access my cluster.
