Nginx-Ingress without Service supported?

[triplem]

I am currently trying to setup a small bare-metal one-node "cluster". For this I would like to use kube-lego. I have read the docs, but up until now, kube-lego is starting and then halting after

2016-10-05T20:24:41.039507691Z time="2016-10-05T20:24:41Z" level=info msg="server listening on http://:8080/" context=acme

I am using the "usual" nginx-ingress controller, but without a service (like found in your example). The config looks like:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: {{template "fullname" . }}
spec:
  replicas: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        # Required for the auto-create kube-lego-nginx service to work.
        app: "{{ .Chart.Name }}"
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: kube-lego
        image: jetstack/kube-lego:canary
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
        env:
        - name: LEGO_KUBE_API_URL
          value: http://lego.xxx.yyy:32767
        - name: LEGO_EMAIL
          valueFrom:
            configMapKeyRef:
              name: {{template "fullname" . }}
              key: lego.email
        - name: LEGO_URL
          valueFrom:
            configMapKeyRef:
              name: {{template "fullname" . }}
              key: lego.url
        - name: LEGO_NAMESPACE
          valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: metadata.namespace
        - name: LEGO_POD_IP
          valueFrom:
            fieldRef:
              fieldPath: status.podIP
        readinessProbe:
          httpGet:
            path: /healthz
            port: 8080
          initialDelaySeconds: 5
          timeoutSeconds: 1

My ingress is configured quite similar to the one found in your examples:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: {{ template "fullname" . }}
  labels:
    app: "{{ .Chart.Name }}"
annotations:
  kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
spec:
  tls:
  - secretName: {{ .Chart.Name }}-tls
    hosts:
    - {{ .Values.hostName }}
  rules:
  - host: {{ .Values.hostName }}
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: {{ template "fullname" . }}
          servicePort: 80

For http, everything is working fine and now I would like to setup https. Any help on this one?

This is more of a support request, then a bug, I know, but I was unsure how to reach you.

Can you try to use version 0.1.3 and set the env variable LEGO_LOG_LEVEL=debug.

It might be a good idea to not set a custom LEGO_KUBE_API_URL. Not too sure why this is needed in your case...
