# Kubernetes
## Setup Kubernetes EasyHAProxy
:::info How it works
EasyHAProxy for Kubernetes operates by querying all ingress definitions with the annotation
`kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress`. Upon finding this annotation,
EasyHAProxy immediately sets up HAProxy and begins serving traffic.
:::
For Kubernetes installations, there are three available installation modes:
- DaemonSet: This mode exposes ports 80, 443, and 1936.
- NodePort: Ports 31080, 31443, and 31936 are exposed.
- ClusterIP: In this mode, no ports are exposed externally, and HAProxy is accessible only
within the cluster.
To install EasyHAProxy in your Kubernetes cluster, follow these steps:
### 1) Identify the node where your EasyHAProxy container will run
:::warning Single Node Deployment
EasyHAProxy will be limited to a single node. To understand why, see the [limitations](limitations.md) page.
:::
```bash title="List available nodes"
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
node-01 Ready <none> 561d v1.21.13-3
node-02 Ready <none> 561d v1.21.13-3
```
Add the EasyHAProxy label to the node.
```bash title="Label the node for EasyHAProxy"
kubectl label nodes node-01 "easyhaproxy/node=master"
```
### 2) Install EasyHAProxy with Kubernetes Manifest
```bash title="Install EasyHAProxy"
kubectl create namespace easyhaproxy
kubectl apply -f \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/byjg/docker-easy-haproxy/5.0.0/deploy/kubernetes/easyhaproxy-daemonset.yml
```
If necessary, you can configure environment variables. To get a list of the variables, please follow the [environment variable guide](environment-variable.md)
## Running containers
Your container only requires creating an ingress with the annotation `kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress` pointing to your service.
e.g.
```yaml
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
name: example-ingress
namespace: example
spec:
rules:
- host: example.org
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: example-service
port:
number: 8080
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
```
Once the container is running, EasyHAProxy will detect automatically and start to redirect all traffic from `example.org:80` to your container at port 8080.
You don't need to expose any port in your container.
:::note Important Limitations
- The implementation doesn't support all ingress properties or wildcard domains at this time.
- The ingress will publish ports 80 and 443, plus 1936 if stats are enabled.
- EasyHAProxy will read all `spec.rules[].host` specifications, however it will parse only the **first path** `spec.rules[].http.paths[0].port.number` for each rule, and ignore the other paths.

## Kubernetes annotations
| annotation | Description | Default | Example |
|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|----------------------------|
| kubernetes.io/ingress.class | (required) Activate EasyHAProxy. | **required** | easyhaproxy-ingress |
| easyhaproxy.redirect_ssl | (optional) Boolean. Force redirect all endpoints to HTTPS. | false | true or false |
| easyhaproxy.certbot | (optional) Boolean. It will request certbot certificates for the ingresses domains. | false | true or false |
| easyhaproxy.redirect | (optional) JSON. Key pair with a domain and its destination. | *empty* | \{"domain":"redirect_url"} |
| easyhaproxy.mode | (optional) Set the HTTP mode for that connection. | http | http or tcp |
| easyhaproxy.listen_port | (optional) Override the HTTP listen port created for that ingress | 80 | 8081 |
| easyhaproxy.plugins | (optional) Comma-separated list of plugins to enable for this ingress | *empty* | cloudflare,deny_pages |
| easyhaproxy.plugin.`{name}`.`{key}` | (optional) Plugin-specific configuration (see [Using Plugins](plugins.md)) | *varies* | See examples below |
**Important**: The annotations are per ingress and applied to all hosts in that ingress configuration.
## Using Plugins with Kubernetes
Plugins extend HAProxy configuration with additional functionality like JWT validation, IP whitelisting, or Cloudflare IP restoration. For a complete list of available plugins, see the [Using Plugins](plugins.md) guide.
### Enabling Plugins for an Ingress
Add the `easyhaproxy.plugins` annotation with a comma-separated list of plugin names:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.plugins: "cloudflare,deny_pages"
name: example-ingress
namespace: example
spec:
rules:
- host: example.org
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: example-service
port:
number: 8080
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
```
### Configuring Plugin Options
Use `easyhaproxy.plugin.{plugin_name}.{option}` annotations to configure individual plugins:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.plugins: "deny_pages"
easyhaproxy.plugin.deny_pages.paths: "/admin,/private,/config"
easyhaproxy.plugin.deny_pages.status_code: "403"
name: secure-app-ingress
namespace: production
spec:
rules:
- host: myapp.example.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: myapp-service
port:
number: 8080
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
```
### Common Plugin Examples
**Protect API with JWT validation:**
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.plugins: "jwt_validator"
easyhaproxy.plugin.jwt_validator.algorithm: "RS256"
easyhaproxy.plugin.jwt_validator.issuer: "https://auth.example.com/"
easyhaproxy.plugin.jwt_validator.audience: "https://api.example.com"
easyhaproxy.plugin.jwt_validator.pubkey_path: "/etc/haproxy/jwt_keys/api_pubkey.pem"
```
**Note:** For JWT validation, you'll need to mount the public key file into the EasyHAProxy pod. See [Using Plugins](plugins.md#protect-api-with-jwt-authentication) for details.
**Restrict access to specific IPs:**
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.plugins: "ip_whitelist"
easyhaproxy.plugin.ip_whitelist.allowed_ips: "192.168.1.0/24,10.0.0.5"
easyhaproxy.plugin.ip_whitelist.status_code: "403"
```
**Restore Cloudflare visitor IPs:**
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.plugins: "cloudflare"
```
**Multiple plugins together:**
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.plugins: "cloudflare,deny_pages"
easyhaproxy.plugin.deny_pages.paths: "/wp-admin,/wp-login.php"
easyhaproxy.plugin.deny_pages.status_code: "404"
```
### Global Plugin Configuration
Some plugins (like `cleanup`) are global and execute once per discovery cycle. Configure these via environment variables or YAML configuration:
**Using Helm values.yaml:**
```yaml
easyhaproxy:
plugins:
enabled: cleanup
config:
cleanup:
max_idle_time: 600
```
**Using environment variables:**
```yaml
env:
- name: EASYHAPROXY_PLUGINS_ENABLED
value: "cleanup"
- name: EASYHAPROXY_PLUGIN_CLEANUP_MAX_IDLE_TIME
value: "600"
```
For more information on plugin types and available plugins, see the [Using Plugins](plugins.md) guide.
## Certbot / ACME / Letsencrypt
It is necessary add the annotation `easyhaproxy.certbot` to the ingress configuration:
```yaml
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
easyhaproxy.certbot: 'true'
name: example-ingress
namespace: example
spec:
....
```
More info [here](acme.md).
Make sure your cluster is accessible both through ports 80 and 443.
## Custom SSL Certificates
Create a secret with your certificate and key and associate them with your ingress.
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: host2-tls
namespace: default
data:
tls.crt: base64 of your certificate
tls.key: base64 of your certificate private key
type: kubernetes.io/tls
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: easyhaproxy-ingress
name: tls-example
namespace: default
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- host2.local
secretName: host2-tls
rules:
...
```
