This chart deploys NGINX Ingress Controller in your Kubernetes cluster.
Note All documentation should only be used with the latest stable release, indicated on the releases page of the GitHub repository.
- A Kubernetes Version Supported by the Ingress Controller
- Helm 3.0+.
- If you’d like to use NGINX Plus:
- To pull from the F5 Container registry, configure a docker registry secret using your JWT token from the MyF5 portal
by following the instructions from
here.
Make sure to specify the secret using one of the following parameters:
controller.serviceAccount.imagePullSecretName
orcontroller.serviceAccount.imagePullSecretsNames
. - Alternatively, pull an Ingress Controller image with NGINX Plus and push it to your private registry by following the instructions from here.
- Alternatively, you can build an Ingress Controller image with NGINX Plus and push it to your private registry by following the instructions from here.
- Update the
controller.image.repository
field of thevalues-plus.yaml
accordingly.
- To pull from the F5 Container registry, configure a docker registry secret using your JWT token from the MyF5 portal
by following the instructions from
here.
Make sure to specify the secret using one of the following parameters:
- If you’d like to use App Protect DoS, please install App Protect DoS Arbitrator helm chart. Make sure to install in the same namespace as the NGINX Ingress Controller. Note that if you install multiple NGINX Ingress Controllers in the same namespace, they will need to share the same Arbitrator because it is not possible to install more than one Arbitrator in a single namespace.
By default, the Ingress Controller requires a number of custom resource definitions (CRDs) installed in the cluster. The
Helm client will install those CRDs. If the CRDs are not installed, the Ingress Controller pods will not become Ready
.
If you do not use the custom resources that require those CRDs (which corresponds to controller.enableCustomResources
set to false
and controller.appprotect.enable
set to false
and controller.appprotectdos.enable
set to false
),
the installation of the CRDs can be skipped by specifying --skip-crds
for the helm install command.
To upgrade the CRDs, pull the chart sources as described in Pulling the Chart and then run:
kubectl apply -f crds/
Alternatively, CRDs can be upgraded without pulling the chart by running:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/v3.6.1/deploy/crds.yaml
In the above command, v3.6.1
represents the version of NGINX Ingress Controller release rather than the Helm chart version.
Note
The following warning is expected and can be ignored:
Warning: kubectl apply should be used on resource created by either kubectl create --save-config or kubectl apply
.Make sure to check the release notes for a new release for any special upgrade procedures.
To remove the CRDs, pull the chart sources as described in Pulling the Chart and then run:
kubectl delete -f crds/
Note
This command will delete all the corresponding custom resources in your cluster across all namespaces. Please ensure there are no custom resources that you want to keep and there are no other Ingress Controller releases running in the cluster.
To install the chart with the release name my-release (my-release is the name that you choose):
For NGINX:
helm install my-release oci://ghcr.io/nginxinc/charts/nginx-ingress --version 1.3.1
For NGINX Plus: (assuming you have pushed the Ingress Controller image nginx-plus-ingress
to your private registry
myregistry.example.com
)
helm install my-release oci://ghcr.io/nginxinc/charts/nginx-ingress --version 1.3.1 --set controller.image.repository=myregistry.example.com/nginx-plus-ingress --set controller.nginxplus=true
This will install the latest edge
version of the Ingress Controller from GitHub Container Registry. If you prefer to
use Docker Hub, you can replace ghcr.io/nginxinc/charts/nginx-ingress
with
registry-1.docker.io/nginxcharts/nginx-ingress
.
Helm does not upgrade the CRDs during a release upgrade. Before you upgrade a release, see Upgrading the CRDs.
To upgrade the release my-release
:
helm upgrade my-release oci://ghcr.io/nginxinc/charts/nginx-ingress --version 1.3.1
To uninstall/delete the release my-release
:
helm uninstall my-release
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the release and deletes the release.
Uninstalling the release does not remove the CRDs. To remove the CRDs, see Uninstalling the CRDs.
To test the latest changes in NGINX Ingress Controller before a new release, you can install the edge
version. This
version is built from the main
branch of the NGINX Ingress Controller repository. You can install the edge
version
by specifying the --version
flag with the value 0.0.0-edge
:
helm install my-release oci://ghcr.io/nginxinc/charts/nginx-ingress --version 0.0.0-edge
Warning
The
edge
version is not intended for production use. It is intended for testing and development purposes only.
This step is required if you're installing the chart using its sources. Additionally, the step is also required for managing the custom resource definitions (CRDs), which the Ingress Controller requires by default, or for upgrading/deleting the CRDs.
-
Pull the chart sources:
helm pull oci://ghcr.io/nginxinc/charts/nginx-ingress --untar --version 1.3.1
-
Change your working directory to nginx-ingress:
cd nginx-ingress
To install the chart with the release name my-release (my-release is the name that you choose):
For NGINX:
helm install my-release .
For NGINX Plus:
helm install my-release -f values-plus.yaml .
The command deploys the Ingress Controller in your Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
Helm does not upgrade the CRDs during a release upgrade. Before you upgrade a release, see Upgrading the CRDs.
To upgrade the release my-release
:
helm upgrade my-release .
To uninstall/delete the release my-release
:
helm uninstall my-release
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the release and deletes the release.
Uninstalling the release does not remove the CRDs. To remove the CRDs, see Uninstalling the CRDs.
In NGINX Ingress Controller version 3.1.0, changes were introduced to Helm resource names, labels and annotations to fit with Helm best practices. When using Helm to upgrade from a version prior to 3.1.0, certain resources like Deployment, DaemonSet and Service will be recreated due to the aforementioned changes, which will result in downtime.
Although the advisory is to update all resources in accordance with new naming convention, to avoid the downtime please follow the steps listed in this page.
Note The following steps apply to both 2.x and 3.0.x releases.
The steps you should follow depend on the Helm release name:

If you are running multiple Ingress Controller releases in your cluster with enabled custom resources, the releases will share a single version of the CRDs. As a result, make sure that the Ingress Controller versions match the version of the CRDs. Additionally, when uninstalling a release, ensure that you don’t remove the CRDs until there are no other Ingress Controller releases running in the cluster.
See running multiple Ingress Controllers for more details.
