How can I configure HAProxy Ingress for host or path-specific settings?

The HAProxy Ingress controller applies annotations like the backend configuration snippet at the Ingress resource level. This means that when you specify:

YAMLCopied
haproxy.org/backend-config-snippet: |
  timeout server 600s
  timeout client 600s
  timeout http-request 60s

all hosts and paths defined in that Ingress will share these settings.

If you need different settings for different hosts or paths, you have a couple of options:

1. Separate Ingress Resources – Create distinct Ingress resources for each host or path group. Each resource can have its own set of annotations, allowing you to customize the configuration per host or path.

2. Service-Level Configuration – Check if the HAProxy Ingress controller supports overriding certain backend settings via annotations directly on the Service object (or other associated resources). This depends on the controller’s capabilities and version, so reviewing its documentation for per-service configuration is advisable.

In summary, you can’t directly apply different snippet annotations on a per-host or per-path basis within a single Ingress resource. You must split up the configuration into multiple Ingresses (or use other per-service mechanisms if available) to achieve different settings for different rules.
