why is My Ingress Ip same as Minikube Ip. I am not able to access the Minikube Ip in my Broswer - kubernetes-ingress

Question

I have created a Service as Load Balancer and tried accessing the service using Minikube tunnel. It is working.
When I tried creating Ingress for the service i get the IP as same as minikube IP and not the tunnel IP.
My ingress Controller is of type NodePort
NAMESPACE NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
default kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 18h
default springboot NodePort 10.103.228.107 <none> 8090:32389/TCP 16h
ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-controller NodePort 10.98.92.81 <none> 80:31106/TCP,443:32307/TCP 17h
ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-controller-admission ClusterIP 10.99.224.119 <none> 443/TCP 17h
kube-system kube-dns ClusterIP 10.96.0.10 <none> 53/UDP,53/TCP,9153/TCP 18h
kubernetes-dashboard dashboard-metrics-scraper ClusterIP 10.100.23.18 <none> 8000/TCP 16h
kubernetes-dashboard kubernetes-dashboard ClusterIP 10.98.172.252 <none> 80/TCP 16h
I tunnel this using:
minikube service ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx --url
* Starting tunnel for service ingress-nginx-controller.

http://127.0.0.1:58628
http://127.0.0.1:58629
! Because you are using a Docker driver on windows, the terminal needs to be open to run it.
I get the Url as http://127.0.0.1:58628.
I now apply ingress
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingresstest
spec:
rules:
- host: "ravi.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /
backend:
service:
name: springboot
port:
number: 8090
But the ingress addressed is exposed in
kubectl get ingress
NAME CLASS HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE
ingresstest <none> ravi.com 192.168.49.2 80 64m
I need the tunnel URL in ingress

Answer 1

Unfortunately you cannot have the tunnel URL in your ingress. Ingress is working as expected.
You can add minikube ingress by commmand: minikube addons enable ingress. After enabling ingress addon it is specifically stated that: After the addon is enabled, please run "minikube tunnel" and your ingress resources would be available at "127.0.0.1". This tunnel creates a route to services deployed with type LoadBalancer and sets their Ingress to their ClusterIP. You can find more info here.
So you can install ingress, but unfortunately it won't work the way you want it.
You should also know, that Minikube is mainly used for testing and learning purposes so some of it's features might not be ideal.
