Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy ingress for my local k3s cluster. I'm looking for something with minimal configuration that can work with self-signed certificates. I've already tried nginx and traefik, but they weren't suitable for my needs. Any suggestions?

For nginx, have you considered using a self-signed cert directly with it? I believe you can do that, or you could employ cert-manager to manage it from a local CA like smallstep. Just remember to set up a DNS/hosts entry that resolves to nginx and expose it via a local load balancer. By the way, traefik is already included with k3s, along with servicelb, but be aware there might be some limitations.
Just curious, why didn't nginx and traefik work for you? Were there specific issues?
Nginx was using too many resources for my setup, and traefik was having trouble connecting to my container apps that have self-signed certs.
