How to return 204 with Nginx Ingress K8S

Question

Is it possible to configure Nginx Ingress to return 204 on a given path?

In Nginx, it would look like this:

location / { return 204; }

Thank you!

nginx supports some annotations like nginx.org/location-snippets (https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/configuration/ingress-resources/advanced-configuration-with-annotations/#snippets-and-custom-templates), which might allow you to pass in an nginx location in the way you describe above.

But I don't know if there is a generic way.

Thank you! You put me on the right way, in fact I had to add annotation on "server-snippet". — Francois Coulloudon, Apr 07 '23 at 10:09

This is what I did:

metadata:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet: |
      location /ping {
        return 204;
        }
