# nginx-nodeport Implementation - COMPLETE ✅
## Summary
The nginx-nodeport example has been successfully completed and is ready for production use. This implementation demonstrates **security-first IPv6 web hosting** using Kubernetes NodePort services on Mycelium Cloud.
## What Was Completed
### 1. Service Configuration ✅
**File:** `nginx-nodeport-service.yaml`
- Changed from `LoadBalancer` to `NodePort` type
- Explicitly set `nodePort: 30091` (avoiding conflict with nginx-mycelium's 30090)
- Maintained `externalTrafficPolicy: Local` for IPv6 source IP preservation
- **Access:** `http://[worker-node-mycelium-ipv6]:30091`
### 2. Content Update Script ✅
**File:** `update-content.sh`
- Created complete script for dynamic content updates
- Discovers worker node Mycelium IPv6 addresses automatically
- Generates HTML with all accessible URLs
- Updates ConfigMap and provides rollout instructions
- Made executable with proper permissions
### 3. Test Script Enhancement ✅
**File:** `test-nodeport-ipv6.sh`
- Enhanced validation to confirm NodePort type (not LoadBalancer)
- Validates explicit port 30091 configuration
- Comprehensive testing of all NodePort features
### 4. Documentation Updates ✅
**File:** `nginx-nodeport.md`
- Added clear explanation of NodePort vs hostNetwork differences
- Documented complete traffic flow: User → Node:30091 → Service:8080 → Pod:8080
- Added comprehensive flow diagrams
- Created comparison tables for all 4 nginx variants
- Clarified Mycelium access patterns
- Added security benefits and operational advantages
### 5. Comprehensive Nginx Variants Guide ✅
**File:** `../nginx-variants.md`
- Created complete comparison of all 4 nginx deployment methods
- Decision tree for choosing the right variant
- Migration paths between variants
- Detailed technical specifications
- Common operations and troubleshooting
## Key Architecture Points
### NodePort Access Pattern
```
User with Mycelium
http://[worker-node-mycelium-ipv6]:30091
Worker Node (kube-proxy)
NodePort 30091 → Service port 8080
Kubernetes Service (load balances)
Pod container port 8080
nginx → HTML Content
```
### Security Improvements Over hostNetwork
- ✅ Pod isolation (no hostNetwork)
- ✅ Network namespace isolation
- ✅ Resource limits enforced
- ✅ Health checks active
- ✅ Standard Kubernetes networking
- ✅ Network policies supported
### Port Allocation
- **External:** NodePort 30091 (on all worker nodes)
- **Service:** Port 8080 (ClusterIP)
- **Target:** Pod 8080 (nginx)
- **Rationale:** 30091 avoids conflict with nginx-mycelium's 30090

2. **Ingress** - Domain names with SSL/TLS
### Enhancements
1. Multi-replica deployment examples
2. Advanced monitoring with Prometheus
3. SSL/TLS certificate management
4. Custom domain integration
## Validation
All implementation goals have been achieved:
✅ Service correctly uses NodePort with explicit port 30091
✅ Documentation clearly explains NodePort vs hostNetwork
✅ Scripts work with correct ports and ConfigMaps
✅ Complete traffic flow is documented
✅ Comparison tables show all 4 variants
✅ Security improvements are documented
✅ Production-ready patterns implemented
✅ Comprehensive testing capabilities
## Notes
- **Port 30091** chosen to avoid conflict with nginx-mycelium (30090)
- **NodePort range** is 30000-32767 (Kubernetes standard)
- **externalTrafficPolicy: Local** preserves IPv6 source addresses for logging
- **hostNetwork: false** ensures pod isolation and security

A complete, production-ready example for deploying a secure, globally accessible website on Mycelium Cloud using Kubernetes **NodePort** services with enhanced network isolation. This demonstrates **security-first IPv6 web hosting** with standard Kubernetes patterns.
## 🔑 Key Concept: NodePort Access Pattern
**Important:** With NodePort, you access the service via:
- **Worker Node's Mycelium IPv6 address** + **NodePort 30091**
- Example: `http://[worker-node-mycelium-ipv6]:30091/`
**This is different from hostNetwork** where pods get direct Mycelium IPs:
- **hostNetwork**: Pod has Mycelium IP → Access: `http://[pod-mycelium-ip]:8080`
- **NodePort**: Pod isolated network → Access: `http://[node-mycelium-ip]:30091`
The traffic flow is: `User → Node:30091 → Service:8080 → Pod:8080`

### Network Flow ### Network Flow (NodePort Pattern)
`IPv6 Client → NodePort:30091 → Service:8080 → Pod:8080 → nginx → HTML Content` ```
User with Mycelium

NodePort 30091 → Service port 8080

```
### 🚨 Critical: Worker Node vs Master Node Access ### 🚨 Critical: NodePort Access Pattern
**Unlike hostNetwork (accessible from any node), NodePort services are ONLY accessible from the specific worker node where your pod is running.**
- **hostNetwork**: Pod has direct host access → accessible from ANY node's IPv6 **With NodePort:**
- **NodePort**: Pod isolated network → accessible ONLY from pod's host node - Pods run in **isolated network** (no `hostNetwork`)
- Pods do **NOT** have direct Mycelium IPv6 addresses
- Access via **worker node's Mycelium IPv6** + NodePort
- Service is accessible on **all worker nodes** at port 30091
- kube-proxy forwards traffic: `node:30091 → service:8080 → pod:8080`
**Always check pod location first:** **Comparison:**
- **hostNetwork (nginx-mycelium)**: Pod gets host's Mycelium IP → Access: `http://[pod-ip]:8080`
- **NodePort (nginx-nodeport)**: Pod isolated → Access: `http://[node-ip]:30091`
**Getting the right IPv6:**
```bash ```bash
# Check where your pod is running # Get worker node Mycelium IPv6 addresses
kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-nodeport -o wide kubectl get nodes -o wide
# Look for the NODE column - this is where you can access your service
# OR use the fetch-ip.sh script
../../scripts/fetch-ip.sh
``` ```

### Why NodePort is Better for Production
**Security Benefits:**
1. Pods cannot access host network interfaces
2. Network policies can restrict pod-to-pod traffic
3. Resource limits prevent resource exhaustion
4. Health checks ensure reliability
**Operational Benefits:**
1. Standard Kubernetes debugging tools work
2. Can scale horizontally (multiple replicas)
3. Service provides automatic load balancing
4. Compatible with monitoring stacks (Prometheus, etc.)
5. Can evolve to LoadBalancer or Ingress later
**Mycelium Integration:**
- Worker nodes have Mycelium IPv6 addresses
- NodePort makes service accessible via these IPs
- No need for traditional cloud load balancers
- Perfect for decentralized web hosting

## 📖 Complete Variant Details
### 1. hostNetwork (nginx-mycelium) - ⭐ Start Here
**Best for:** Learning, experimentation, proof of concepts
**How it works:**
- Pod directly accesses host network interfaces
- Pod gets the host node's Mycelium IPv6 address
- Direct access to Mycelium network without Kubernetes service layer
**Access:** `http://[pod-mycelium-ipv6]:8080`
**Pros:**
- ✅ Simplest setup
- ✅ Direct Mycelium IP access
- ✅ No service layer needed
- ✅ Fastest performance
**Cons:**
- ❌ Security concerns (host network access)
- ❌ Port conflicts possible
- ❌ Can't scale multiple replicas on same node
- ❌ Not production-ready
**Files:**
- [`nginx-mycelium/mycelium-website-nodeport.yaml`](nginx-mycelium/mycelium-website-nodeport.yaml)
- [`nginx-mycelium/test-ipv6-website.sh`](nginx-mycelium/test-ipv6-website.sh)
**Quick Start:**
```bash
cd nginx-mycelium
kubectl apply -f mycelium-website-nodeport.yaml
kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app=mycelium-website --timeout=60s
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l app=mycelium-website -o name | head -1)
kubectl exec $POD_NAME -- ip addr show | grep "476:\|51d:\|552:" | head -1
# Access at http://[ipv6]:8080
```
---
### 2. NodePort (nginx-nodeport) - ✅ Recommended Starting Point
**Best for:** Testing, development, production workloads with proper security
**How it works:**
- Pod runs in isolated network namespace
- Kubernetes service exposes on NodePort (30091)
- Access via worker node's Mycelium IPv6 address
- kube-proxy routes: node:30091 → service:8080 → pod:8080
**Access:** `http://[worker-node-mycelium-ipv6]:30091`
**Pros:**
- ✅ Enhanced security (pod isolation)
- ✅ Standard Kubernetes patterns
- ✅ Can scale to multiple replicas
- ✅ Production-ready
- ✅ Network policies supported
- ✅ Standard monitoring/debugging tools
**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Slightly more complex than hostNetwork
- ⚠️ Need to use worker node IPs (not pod IPs)
- ⚠️ NodePort range limited (30000-32767)
**Files:**
- [`nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-deployment.yaml`](nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-deployment.yaml)
- [`nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-service.yaml`](nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-service.yaml)
- [`nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-configmaps.yaml`](nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-configmaps.yaml)
- [`nginx-nodeport/test-nodeport-ipv6.sh`](nginx-nodeport/test-nodeport-ipv6.sh)
- [`nginx-nodeport/update-content.sh`](nginx-nodeport/update-content.sh)
**Quick Start:**
```bash
cd nginx-nodeport
kubectl apply -f nginx-nodeport-configmaps.yaml
kubectl apply -f nginx-nodeport-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f nginx-nodeport-service.yaml
kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app=nginx-nodeport --timeout=60s
# Get worker node IPv6
NODE_IPV6=$(kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[0].status.addresses[?(@.type=="InternalIP")].address}')
echo "Access at: http://[$NODE_IPV6]:30091"
```
**Testing:**
```bash
# Run comprehensive tests
./test-nodeport-ipv6.sh
# Update content dynamically
./update-content.sh
```

### 3. LoadBalancer (Coming Soon) - 🚧 In Development
**Best for:** Production deployments needing external IP addresses
**How it works:**
- Similar to NodePort but with cloud load balancer
- Gets external IP address from cloud provider
- Standard ports (80, 443)
**Access:** `http://[external-lb-ip]:80`
**Pros:**
- ✅ Standard ports (80/443)
- ✅ External IP address
- ✅ Cloud-native load balancing
- ✅ Production-ready
**Status:** Documentation and examples coming soon
---
### 4. Ingress (Coming Soon) - 🚧 In Development
**Best for:** Production web applications with custom domains and SSL
**How it works:**
- Uses Ingress controller (nginx-ingress, traefik, etc.)
- Provides HTTP routing rules
- SSL/TLS termination
- Domain-based routing
**Access:** `https://yourdomain.com`
**Pros:**
- ✅ Custom domain support
- ✅ SSL/TLS certificates
- ✅ Path-based routing
- ✅ Most production-ready
**Status:** Documentation and examples coming soon

## 🔄 Migration Path
### From hostNetwork to NodePort
**Why migrate:**
- Better security
- Standard Kubernetes patterns
- Ability to scale
- Production readiness
**Steps:**
1. Deploy NodePort version alongside hostNetwork
2. Test functionality with NodePort
3. Update any automation to use node IPs instead of pod IPs
4. Remove hostNetwork deployment
**Example:**
```bash
# Deploy both versions
kubectl apply -f nginx-mycelium/mycelium-website-nodeport.yaml
kubectl apply -f nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f nginx-nodeport/nginx-nodeport-service.yaml
# Test both work
curl -6 http://[pod-ip]:8080 # hostNetwork
curl -6 http://[node-ip]:30091 # NodePort
# Once validated, remove hostNetwork
kubectl delete -f nginx-mycelium/mycelium-website-nodeport.yaml
```

## 🛠️ Common Operations
### Discovery Scripts
**Get all Mycelium IPv6 addresses:**
```bash
../../scripts/fetch-ip.sh
```
**Test IPv6 connectivity:**
```bash
# hostNetwork
cd nginx-mycelium && ./test-ipv6-website.sh
# NodePort
cd nginx-nodeport && ./test-nodeport-ipv6.sh
```
### Content Updates
**hostNetwork:**
```bash
cd nginx-mycelium
./update-content.sh
```
**NodePort:**
```bash
cd nginx-nodeport
./update-content.sh
kubectl rollout restart deployment/nginx-nodeport
```
### Scaling
**NodePort only** (hostNetwork can't scale on same node):
```bash
kubectl scale deployment nginx-nodeport --replicas=3
kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-nodeport -o wide
```
