Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for discovering and monitoring Kubernetes Ingress resources, including extracting ingress details and matching exact, case-insensitive, and wildcard hosts.
    • Startup can continue when some supported Kubernetes resources are unavailable, provided at least one is reachable.
    • Ingress rules without HTTP paths are ignored during path validation; a warning appears when a rule lacks a catch-all / path.
  • Improvements

    • Updated access-control lookups to use provider callbacks without domain-specific filtering.

contre95 and others added 10 commits May 18, 2026 11:44
Reapply the Gateway API support on top of the KubernetesService rework
from main, which moved the service to ding-managed watchers and a
Lookup based LabelProvider, and started requiring an app to match a host
the resource actually routes.

Ingresses declare their hosts in spec.rules[].host while HTTPRoutes and
GRPCRoutes use spec.hostnames, so host extraction is now dispatched per
resource kind. Route hostnames may carry the Gateway API wildcard label,
which is matched as a suffix, and routes without hostnames are skipped
since the hosts of the gateway listeners they attach to cannot be
resolved from the route alone.

The cache key gains the resource kind because an Ingress and an
HTTPRoute may share a name within a namespace, and the catch-all path
warning is extended to HTTPRoute path matches.

The app name fallback matches any domain that starts with the app name,
so an app named myapp served on myapp.example.com also defined the ACLs
of myapp.evil.com. Behind a proxy with a catch-all route, a request can
be authorized against the wrong app that way.

Label providers now receive the domain being authorized. The Kubernetes
provider keeps the hosts of every Ingress, HTTPRoute and GRPCRoute it
watches and withholds the apps of the resources that do not route the
domain, which bounds the name fallback to the hosts a resource actually
serves. Wildcard hostnames keep matching as a suffix, so nested
subdomains stay resolvable by app name.

Container labels carry no routing information, so the Docker provider
cannot narrow its results down and keeps yielding every app.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kubernetes service adds typed ingress extraction and updates its resource lookup behavior. The lookup contract no longer passes a requested domain. Access-control matching uses package-level domain validation and normalization helpers.

Changes

Kubernetes ingress lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ingress extraction and cache behavior
go.mod, internal/service/kubernetes_ingress_extractor.go, internal/service/kubernetes_service_test.go
The service extracts ingress metadata, annotations, hosts, and paths. Tests cover ingress decoding, app entry updates and removal, and exact, case-insensitive, and wildcard host matching.
Callback-only lookup contract
internal/service/access_controls_service.go, internal/service/access_controls_service_test.go, internal/service/kubernetes_service.go, internal/service/kubernetes_service_test.go
LabelProvider.Lookup and KubernetesService.Lookup no longer accept a domain. ACL matching uses package-level validation and normalization helpers. Tests use callback-only lookup and cover cache results when connected or disconnected.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 11a60

Fix wildcard host matching before merging: it can apply an Ingress ACL to a hostname that the Ingress does not serve. The existing stale-cache and hostless-rule limitations also remain.

Preserve hostless ingress catch-all behavior.

An omitted IngressRule.Host means that the rule applies to all inbound hosts. This extractor stores it as "", but hostMatchesHostname and hostCoversName never match that value. updateFromItem therefore removes all labelled apps from a valid hostless ingress. (kubernetes.io)

Represent catch-all routing explicitly, or make both matching helpers treat an empty ingress host as matching every hostname.

Restrict wildcard hosts to one DNS label.

strings.HasSuffix makes *.example.com match deep.app.example.com. Kubernetes Ingress wildcard hosts match only one label, so this lookup can select ACLs from an ingress that does not cover the requested hostname. The added test also records the incorrect multi-label behavior. (kubernetes.io)

Check that the unmatched prefix contains exactly one non-empty label.

Proposed fix
 	if suffix, ok := strings.CutPrefix(host, "*."); ok {
-		return strings.HasSuffix(hostname, "."+suffix)
+		if !strings.HasSuffix(hostname, "."+suffix) {
+			return false
+		}
+		label := strings.TrimSuffix(hostname, "."+suffix)
+		return label != "" && !strings.Contains(label, ".")

Remove resources that disappear during resync.

resyncGVR updates resources returned by List, but it does not remove cached keys absent from that list. If a deletion occurs while the watcher is disconnected, the restarted watch reports the current state and does not provide a deletion event for the already-absent object. The stale ACL then remains in k.apps indefinitely. (kubernetes.io)

Collect the listed resourceKey values. After a successful list, remove cached keys for this resource type that are not present.

Based on learnings, removal must update all associated cache structures and prevent stale lookups.

Hey @steveiliop56, When I thought about tinyauth support for k8s gw api I wanted it to support httproutes only with the - type: ExternalAuth and don't have to create a ReferenceGrant on the Tinyauth namspace. Is that still the idea?

@contre95 not quite. Tinyauth will keep support for the Ingress API for the time being but there will be no watcher for the Gateway API.

Instead, we will use a new CRD designed specifically for Tinyauth ACLs (see #1155). This CRD will make ACLs in Kubernetes much more easy as it will no longer need to parse the routing definitions themselves and/or play with annotations. The CRD will behave in the same way the Docker labels and the configuration file works.

The new CRD based approach will also pave the way for more Kubernetes-based features such as dynamic OpenID Connect client registration through manifests.

Keep in mind that nothing will change in the way the Ingress watcher currently works.
