⚠️ Maintenance Mode — Forkline Maintained ForkThis is a maintained fork of the retired Kubernetes ingress-nginx controller, kept in strict maintenance mode: no new features, no behavior changes — only dependency updates and security patches. We use date-based versioning (e.g.,
v2026.5.3) since semantic versioning has no meaning when there are no features or breaking changes.For new deployments, consider Gateway API implementations instead. This fork serves existing ingress-nginx users who need continued maintenance.
Maintained by Forkline using coding-agent orchestration — automated but never unattended.
What You Need to Know about Ingress NGINX Retirement:
- Best-effort maintenance continued until March 2026.
- Upstream no longer provides releases, bugfixes, or security updates.
- Existing deployments and historical artifacts remain important for operators and forks like this one.
ingress-nginx was an Ingress controller for Kubernetes using NGINX as a reverse proxy and load balancer.
Learn more about Ingress on the Kubernetes documentation site.
The Helm chart is distributed as an OCI package via GitHub Container Registry:
helm upgrade --install ingress-nginx oci://ghcr.io/forkline/helm-charts/ingress-nginx \
--namespace ingress-nginx --create-namespaceTo install a specific version (chart version matches the release tag, e.g. 2026.7.20):
helm upgrade --install ingress-nginx oci://ghcr.io/forkline/helm-charts/ingress-nginx \
--version 2026.7.20 \
--namespace ingress-nginx --create-namespaceContainer images are published to ghcr.io/forkline/ingress-nginx/:
| Image | Location |
|---|---|
| Controller | ghcr.io/forkline/ingress-nginx/controller:<version> |
| Webhook certgen | ghcr.io/forkline/ingress-nginx/kube-webhook-certgen:<version> |
See the full installation guide for more options.
Do not use in multi-tenant Kubernetes production installations. This project assumes that users that can create Ingress objects are administrators of the cluster. See the FAQ for more.
If you encounter issues, review the troubleshooting docs, search for an issue, or talk to us on the #ingress-nginx-users channel on the Kubernetes Slack server.

All images use unified date-based versioning. The version indicates when the software was last maintained.
