Ingress nginx-controller - failed for volume “webhook-cert”

I run:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v0.48.1/deploy/static/provider/aws/deploy.yaml

But it didn't work.

Neither --kubeconfig nor --master was specified.  Using the inClusterConfig.  This might not work.

I tried changing the deployment's --ingress-class=nginx to --ingress-class=nginx2, or installing v0.35, or trying:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx /controller-v0.48.1/deploy/static/provider/baremetal/deploy.yaml

But the same error repeats.

Environment:

• kubeadm version: v1.22.0
• docker version: 20.10.7
• os: ubuntu
• AWS EC2 instance

MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "webhook-cert" : secret "ingress-nginx-admission" not found

As you can see in Events there is missing secret "ingress-nginx-admission". This is probably because you used outdated yaml.
You can deploy nginx controler for AWS from here or just use helm.
