Create a new ingress for the outpost

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
    name: authentik-outpost
spec:
    rules:
        - host: app.company
          http:
              paths: /outpost.goauthentik.io
              pathType: Prefix
              backend:
                  # Or, to use an external Outpost, create an ExternalName service and reference that here.
                  # See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#externalname
                  service:
                      name: ak-outpost-example-outpost
                      port:
                          number: 9000

This ingress handles authentication requests, and the sign-in flow.

Add these annotations to the ingress you want to protect

:::warning This configuration requires that you enable allow-snippet-annotations, for example by setting controller.allowSnippetAnnotations to true in your helm values for the ingress-nginx installation. :::
