Issue:
Just the other day, I’ve attempted to run a ‘helm upgrade…’ command on my NextCloud application. I’ve taken care to ensure that the container’s version matches that of the persistent storage’s marking (e.g. image.tag=22.1-fpm) as a variance in that would cause NextCloud not to start. However, there’s another issue that has puzzled me: a 502 Error upon navigating to the URL of the application.

Resolution:
– Check the logs
– Review Kubernetes Ingress documentation
– Realize that this specific issue requires no fixing

Starting code integrity check...

Reviewing Documentation:
According to the kubernetes ingress requirements (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons/cluster-loadbalancing/glbc#prerequisites) the application must return a 200 status code at ‘/’. It’s a known behavior that when an application is not in a ‘ready’ state, it would return a 302 (redirect to login). If health checks are configured to run, failing results would cause the ingress resource returns 502. Even if health checks are skipped, the container would that are still in a ‘starting code integrity check…’ state would still relay non-200 statuses, which leads to Ingress to return 502 to the users.
