I am having same requirements like metioned in this post - [https://tech.holidayextras.com/routing-to-internal-kubernetes-services-using-proxies-and-ingress-controllers-e7eb44954d53](https://tech.holidayextras.com/routing-to-internal-kubernetes-services-using-proxies-and-ingress-controllers-e7eb44954d53)

But I am not sure of what is that ipaddresses of backends mentioned there. I assumed it is the ips of my master and worker nodes in my cluster

My kubernetes has master node ip as 10.118.6.35 and worker node ip as 10.118.2.215 which are AWS ec2 instances.

So when I configured like below in my nginx.conf(please refer below), I am getting index.html rendered when I do  
curl [https://10.118.6.35](https://10.118.6.35)  
As well from my browser it is working fine.

But when I do [https://10.118.6.35/hello-kenzan](https://10.118.6.35/hello-kenzan)  
I am getting nginx error page default 404 page  
But I expect to route it to my kubernetes services running in NodePort 80:30854

I have followed steps as mentioned in that post.  
FYI, I am showing the echo-ing.yaml below -

```
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: echomap
  annotations: {
    'kubernetes.io/ingress.class': nginx
   }
spec:
  rules:
  - host: ip-10-118-6-35.ec2.internal
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /hello-kenzan
        backend:
           service and: hello-kenzan
           service port: 80

```

And below is nginx.conf -

```
http {
       ssl_certificate ...
        ....
        ....
  server {
   listen 443 SSL;
   server_name www.ip-10.118-6-35.ec2.internal.com;
   root /usr/share/nginx/html;
   ssl_certificate ...
   ...
   ...
   include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

   location / {
   }
   error_page 404 /404.html;
      location = /40x.html {
    }
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
      location = /50x.html {
    }
}
upstream backend_nodes {
    server 10.118.6.35:31001;
    server 10.118.2.215:31001;
  }
upstream backend_nodes_ssl {
    server 10.118.6.35:32001;
    server 10.118.2.215:32001;
  }
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name backends.nodes;
     location / {
       proxy_pass https://backend_nodes;
      }
   }
 server {
    listen 443;
    server_name backends.nodes.ssl;
     location / {
       proxy_pass https://backend_nodes_ssl;
      }
   }
}

```

Please suggest what must go in the backend nodes ip.

**Update**

Hey finally made it to work when I try with IP address from browser instead of DNS name -

[https://10.118.6.35/hello-kenzan](https://10.118.6.35/hello-kenzan) \<- this working now  
[https://myservice.myorg.com/hello-kenzan](https://myservice.myorg.com/hello-kenzan) \<- this not working by giving nginx error page temporarily unavailable.

But [https://myservice.myorg.com](https://myservice.myorg.com) \<- works by taking to welcome to nginx index page.

This is my modified nginx.conf -

```auto
 
 http {
           ssl_certificate ...
            ....
            ....

server {
       listen 80;
       server_name ip-10.118-6-35.ec2.internal;
       root /usr/share/nginx/html;
       
       include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;
    
       location / {
       }
       location /hello-kenzan {
           proxy_pass https://backend_nodes;
          }
       error_page 404 /404.html;
          location = /40x.html {
        }
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
          location = /50x.html {
        }
    }
      server {
       listen 443 SSL;
       server_name ip-10.118-6-35.ec2.internal;
       root /usr/share/nginx/html;
       ssl_certificate ...
       ...
       ...
       include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;
    
       location / {
       }
       location /hello-kenzan {
           proxy_pass https://backend_nodes_ssl;
       }
       error_page 404 /404.html;
          location = /40x.html {
        }
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
          location = /50x.html {
        }
    }
    upstream backend_nodes {
        server 10.96.88.237:80
      }
    upstream backend_nodes_ssl {
        server 10.96.88.237:443
      }
   
  }
  

```

Any thoughts??
