No api-resources such as ingressroutes or middlewares are created when I use migrate/nginx-to-traefik

Hi, when I follow the migration doc to migrate from nginx ingress controller to traefik using helm, I get a functionnal setup and everything is displayed correctly in the traefik dashboard but I see no k8s objects created:

Should’nt these be created by the migration ?

I feel like this will create a debt down the road when the migration is behind us and we want to create new ingresses.

You might just want to install the CRDs separately.

CRDs are installed hence the result of the first command k api-resources | grep -i traefik. I wonder why objects are not created when migrating.

4

Since you’re migrating your stuff, your objects (like ingress routes) have to exist beforehand?
What is it supposed to create except the controller and service?

5

aah, perhaps you have misunderstood the migration process?

By completing this migration, your existing Ingress resources will work with Traefik without any modifications.

No new objects will be created but your old objects will be made compatible with traefik.
