Provide ARM ingress-nginx ready helm chart

[kamilgregorczyk]

Hi, right now when I install ingress controller on k3s that's running on arm with helm install nginx stable/nginx-ingress --set rbac.create=true it uses amd64 based images, could it be possible to provide something like stable/nginx-ingress-arm ?

@kamilgregorczyk there is no need for a new chart. After #4271 is merged this will work OOTB without any change.

In the meantime, you can use –set controller.image.repository="quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller-arm64" (or arm).

Edit: the timeline for #4271 is in the hands of quay.io

Thanks, btw adding defaultBackend.image.repository="k8s.gcr.io/defaultbackend-arm64" is also required

@kamilgregorczyk just in case, the default backend is optional since 0.21.0.
(makes no sense if you are not using a custom one)

I'm confused: I just tried multiple combinations based on the comments above and helm either pulls the amd64 image or it can't find the 1.6.2 one? (t looks like the quay image is 0.28?).

What is the exact helm command to install nginx on arm?

[muddyland]

I am also having the same issue as @pisymbol. Helm is pulling the amd64 image if I specify a tag or it can't find the image if I don't. I have been using this helm command to deploy:

Without Tag

helm install nginx-ingress nginx-stable/nginx-ingress --set controller.image.repository=quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller-arm

With Tag

helm install nginx-ingress nginx-stable/nginx-ingress --set controller.image.repository=quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller-arm --set controller.image.tag="0.28.0"

maybe someone knows what is a reliable arm64 repository for ingress controller and all other standard components? I am trying to run on arm64 and by default it throws errors and doesn't start, something tells me it's going to be a challenge to find aaaaalll k8s ecosystem components and images for arm64 🙈 what am I getting into, oh my. is it feasible to run proper k8s clusters with various default things like prometheus, fluentd, etc' on arm, or going to be a nightmare I better avoid? 😅
