How do I make my Ingress to load the configuration from the ConfigMap

my configmap file

```auto
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: ingress-configmap
data:
  proxy-read-timeout: "86s"
  client-max-body-size: "1g"

```

My ingress:

```auto
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS"
spec:
  rules:
    - host: my.com
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            backend:
              serviceName: web
              servicePort: 443

```

Documentation makes me think [proxy-body-size](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/configmap/#proxy-body-size) is what you want.
