# Add an Ingress manually From the menu expand **Networking**, select **Ingresses** then click **Add with form**.

Select the **namespace** that the Ingress needs to be created in from the list. Complete the required information, using the sections below as a guide. ### Base Configuration

Field/Option	Overview
Name	Enter a descriptive name for the ingress.
Ingress class	Select an Ingress Class object from the list, or select none when no `IngressClass` info is needed in the Ingress specification.
Annotations	You can add annotations to your ingress as required by clicking Add annotation and filling in the Key and Value fields. Depending on your selected ingress class you may also be able to add rewrite annotations and/or regular expression annotations.

{% hint style="info" %} **Note for Google Cloud users** Google Cloud ingress controller (gce or GKE Ingress) continues to use the deprecated `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation on ingresses, whereas most other ingress controllers use the `IngressClass` resource that was introduced in Kubernetes 1.18. Portainer targets the `IngressClass` resource means of specifying ingress classes, but you can still use the Google Cloud ingress controllers by turning on the **Allow ingress class to be set to "none"** toggle in [Cluster setup](https://docs.portainer.io/2.33-lts/user/cluster/setup#ingress-controllers) and setting them up as custom with `none` selected as their **Ingress class**. Then when adding an ingress based on this, set an annotation with the **key** `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` and **value** `gce.` {% endhint %} ### Ingress Rule Here you can define the specifics for the Ingress rule:

Field/Option	Overview
Hostname	Enter the FQDN that the application should be accessed with eg: `myapp.mydomain.com`.
TLS Secret	Select the TLS secret that holds the SSL certificate information for the hostname entered above. Optionally, create a new TLS Secret by clicking on the Create secret link (opens in a new tab). Once secret is created click on the reload button next to the TLS secret dropdown and select the new secret.
Service	Select a service that you want to expose from the list.
Service port	Select the port that needs to be exposed from the list.
Path type	Select the relevant path type. The default is `Prefix`.
Path	Enter the path to expose the application on. To expose on the root of the domain use `/`.

You can expose other services using a different path by clicking on **Add path**.

Add more rules by clicking on **Add new host** or a fallback rule by **Add fallback rule**. {% hint style="info" %} A fallback rule has no host specified. This rule only applies when an inbound request has a hostname that does not match with any of your other rules. {% endhint %} When you're ready, click **Create**.
