Disable SSL redirect for Kubernetes NGINX ingress

Question

An SSL redirect is enabled by default in a Kubernetes NGINX ingress. How can this be disabled? Current implementation below:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

kind: Ingress

metadata:

  name: project_name-ingress

  annotations:

    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /

spec:

  rules:

  - http:

      paths:

      - path: /

        backend:

          serviceName: project_name

          servicePort: 80

Answer 1

Adding ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false" to annotations will disable the SSL redirect:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

kind: Ingress

metadata:

  name: project_name-ingress

  annotations:

    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /

    ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"

spec:

  rules:

  - http:

      paths:

      - path: /

        backend:

          serviceName: project_name

          servicePort: 80

Note that false is wrapped in quotation marks. I found it didn't work without this string casting.
