So I got nginx working in RKE2, but how do I find out if it was set up using nodeport, clusterIP or LoadBalancer without looking at the config?

look at the running cluster?

ok

You're intended to use an Ingress resource. You can check the ingress status after it's created to see how you can connect to it.

I was able to browse to the IP it was located on and got a 404. But now when configuring my app for it, what do I use, nodeport, loadbalancer?

For the workload that will go behind the ingress?

yes

Use whatever you want, it doesn’t matter. I would probably just use a clusterip service since all the traffic is going to go through the ingress. There’s no reason to expose it outside the cluster at all if you’re going through the ingress.

ok
