Upgrading ¶

Without Helm ¶

To upgrade your ingress-nginx installation, it should be enough to change the version of the image in the controller Deployment.

I.e. if your deployment resource looks like (partial example):

kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: ingress-nginx-controller
  namespace: ingress-nginx
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector: ...
  template:
    metadata: ...
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: ingress-nginx-controller
          image: registry.k8s.io/ingress-nginx/controller:v1.0.4@sha256:545cff00370f28363dad31e3b59a94ba377854d3a11f18988f5f9e56841ef9ef
          args: ...

simply change the v1.0.4 tag to the version you wish to upgrade to. The easiest way to do this is e.g. (do note you may need to change the name parameter according to your installation):

kubectl set image deployment/ingress-nginx-controller \
  controller=registry.k8s.io/ingress-nginx/controller:v1.0.5@sha256:55a1fcda5b7657c372515fe402c3e39ad93aa59f6e4378e82acd99912fe6028d \
  -n ingress-nginx

For interactive editing, use kubectl edit deployment ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx.

With Helm ¶

If you installed ingress-nginx using the Helm command in the deployment docs so its name is ingress-nginx, you should be able to upgrade using

helm upgrade --reuse-values ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx

Migrating from stable/nginx-ingress ¶

See detailed steps in the upgrading section of the ingress-nginx chart README.
