Installing an ingress controller
An ingress controller helps you expose your services to the outside world.
How do I Install my own ingress controller
Using our Web UI you can install an NGINX ingress controller using our App Catalog.
Click “Install app” from the “Apps” tab when viewing your cluster
Search for “nginx-ingress-controller-app” in the list of apps
Select “nginx-ingress-controller-app” from the “Giant Swarm Catalog”
Click “Install in cluster”
Click “Install app” (In case you want any special configuration, this is where you can also provide a ‘values.yaml’ with your customized settings)
After a few moments, the NGINX ingress controller should be running on your cluster.
More information about the nginx-ingress-controller-app can be found in the nginx-ingress-controller-app repository.
