Running Laravel in Kubernetes with path based routing using Ingress. Nginx and Apache configurations.

Kubernetes-Laravel

Background Info

To run different copies of Laravel with Kubernetes and each of these serve as a service for different purpose.

The routing of different services can be achieved by using path-based routing using Ingress.

Issue

When using same domain with path-based routing, all Laravel will treat domain root (e.g. example.com) as application base url.

But, We want each Laravel treat their respective path, (e.g. example.com/service1 and example.com/service2) as their base url.

Solution

We can use Alias in Apache server configurations:

Alias /service1 /var/www/html/public

Add this in .htaccess:

RewriteBase /service1/

OR

In Nginx:

# sub directory
location /sub_dir {  
    alias /usr/share/nginx/html/sub_dir/public;
    try_files $uri $uri/ @sub_dir;  

    location ~ \.(php|phar)(/.*)?$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.(?:php|phar))(/.*)$;

        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        include        fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_pass   php-fpm;
    }
}  

location @sub_dir {
    rewrite /sub_dir/(.*)$ /sub_dir/index.php?/$1 last;  
}
# end sub directory
