Own server: containerized in kubernetes
Theme:

==================
Situation
I have a fully functional LimeSurvey in kubernetes. Within the cluster all works fine and it is running on the following location:
container.namespace.svc.cluster.local/
I want to have this container used outside the cluster for the users. They use an Ingres gateway. I have managed to access the server from outside the cluster on this location:
app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/
Problem
I'm unable to set the config.php and/or apache virtualserver settings correctly to use LimeSurvey server outside the cluster, on:
app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/.
Does anyone has a suggestion how to make the HTML links link properly from '/' to '/namespace/container'?
Observations:
Without changes, the homepage loads perfectly within the cluster:
/
container.namespace.svc.cluster.local/
Outside the cluster, :
//app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/, the homepage loads, but all HTML links, still link to '/' instead of '/namespace/container/'
When i open
/app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/admin/ it redirect to the non existing
/app.mykubernetes.com/index.php/admin/authentication/sa/login (missing the server url prefix 'namespace/container')
Attempted actions
After reading I would expect I have to do two changes:
- Update the 'hostInfo' in config.php:
Code:
'hostInfo'=>'https://app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container'
- Add a apache virtualserver as 000-default.conf to folder /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app.mykubernetes.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
Alias /namespace/container /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
after updating the file, i reload apache by running the following code on the container:
Code:
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Results
When I apply step 1 and 2:
- UI HTML links still link to '/'
- /app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/admin/ is now available outside the cluster
- /container.namespace.svc.cluster.local/admin now redirect to /app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/admin (but this is not available within the cluster and there is no need to)
I also tried some virtualserver settings, but then the pages would load a
Proxy error:
Code:
ProxyPass / https://app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / https://app.mykubernetes.com/namespace/container/
Also tried some actions with 'ServerAlias', without results.
Does anyone has a suggestion how to make the HTML links link properly from '/' to '/namespace/container'?
