Here i have kubernetes running on minikube and it has 2 services backend and frontend. And i have installed ingress addon for minikube.
I wanted to rewrite whenever the frontend request the path url is /users/{user-id} it goes to backend service with the same url dynamically.
Let say the request is /users it rewrite to backend service to /users, /users/1 it goes to /users/1.
I tried to read nginx manual found some special expression i don't understand.
This is my ingress configuration.
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-be
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /users/$1
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: backend
http:
paths:
- path: /users/(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: backend
port:
number: 5000
My configuration seems fine when the request is /users/{users-id} but when the request is /users, my ingress won't redirect me to '/users' in backend service.
When i tested with curl, this is the output.
curl http://backend/users/3
{"id":3,"name":"Sofia","email":"[email protected]","gender":"Female","createdAt":"2022-04-05T15:46:46.000Z","updatedAt":"2022-04-05T15:46:46.000Z"}%
curl http://backend/users

What am i missing here?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Update!
Andreas in the comment suggest me to use /users/ and it works!
Then i decided to modified my ingress configuration.
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-be
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /users/$2
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: backend
http:
paths:
- path: /users(/|$)(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: backend
port:
number: 5000
