Dynamic wildcard subdomain ingress for Kubernetes
here is an example:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-wildcard-host
spec:
rules:
- host: "foo.bar.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: "/bar"
backend:
service:
name: service1
port:
number: 80
- host: "*.foo.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: "/foo"
backend:
service:
name: service2
port:
number: 80
and the source.
There certainly isn't anything like wildcard domains available in kubernetes, but you might be able to get want you want using Helm
With helm, you can template variables inside your manifests, so you can have the name of your branch be in the helm values file
From there, you can have gitlab-ci do the helm installation in a build pipeline and if you configure your chart correctly, you can specify a helm argument of the pipeline name.
There's a great blog post about this kind of workflow here - hopefully this'll get your where you need to go.
