Escaping characters using "docker-compose"

Help

Hi.

I need to use “/$2” string in an ingress annotation under docker-compose, but apparently this can’t be escaped to avoid internal envsubst. I have managed to circunvent this by “brute force” as below.

Is there a better way?

endpoints:
  whoami:
    labels:
      kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
      # strip path para ingress-nginx
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: "/$$$$2" # okteto "escape"
    rules:
      - path: /whoami(/|$)(.*)
        service: whoami
        port: 80

Hi @andrevtg !

Currently, the way you found is the only supported way. It is a known issue, and it’s something the team is looking into improving in the near future.

hey @ramiro is there any ETA or ticket for this issue that I can subscribe to?

This issue hurts us too, because we’re using single docker-compose.yml file for both okteto for local development and docker-compose in CI
Currently this brute force solution works for okteto, but it is broken in regular docker-compose, which forces us to do some hacks in CI scripts

hey @fijolekProjects, thanks for reaching out. At the moment we don’t have an ETA, but knowing that you are also affected by this issue helps us with the prioritization. Let me follow up internally with the team and we’ll update the thread.
