Description

Affected version

nifi-operator-0.6.0

Current and expected behavior

Current behavior

  1. defaults
    When using Nifi in a default setting, I fail to establish an ingress properly exposing the Nifi UI to the outside, probably because Nifi is set to use httpS/8443.

  2. with overrides
    When providing overriding Nifi settings to use http/8080

configOverrides:
   nifi.properties:
     nifi.web.https.host: ""
     nifi.web.https.port: ""
     nifi.web.http.host: "0.0.0.0"
     nifi.web.http.port: "8080"
     nifi.cluster.protocol.is.secure: "false"

the ingress is working, but Nifi is unstable because health checks (still assuming 8443) are always failing.

Expected behavior

There's a supported way to use Ingress with the Nifi UI with health checks succeeding.

Bonus

Operator recognizes http/https and will set up a k8s Service accordingly.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the operator handles the nifi.properties overrides for HTTP/HTTPS, ingress health checks, and the Kubernetes Service. Reproduce the issue with the 0.6.0 configuration on k3s, then verify that the UI is reachable through ingress and that health checks succeed when HTTP is selected.
