Kubernetes qBitTorrentWebUI showing only on path '/'-CodePudding

I am trying to host a qBitTorrent server with Kubernetes. I have composed a YAML for the https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/qbittorrent docker container.

The problem is that it is accessible only from path /. As soon as I move it to /torrent it does not find it anymore: 404 Not Found.

Steps to replicate:

apply following yamls
helm install nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx
go to service_ip:8080, settings, WebUI, uncheck "Enable Host header validation"
go to localhost:nginx_port/torrent

Result:

page not loading

Expected Result:

qBitTorrent WebUi appears and works

What I tried:

adding nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: / to annotations

server.yaml:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: torrent-deployment
  labels:
    app: torrent
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      pod-label: torrent-pod
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        pod-label: torrent-pod
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: linuxserver
        image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:amd64-latest
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: torrent-service
  labels:
    app: torrent
spec:
  selector:
    pod-label: torrent-pod
  ports:
  - port: 8080
    name: torrent-deployment

ingress.yaml:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: torrent-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
  labels:
    app: torrent
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /torrent
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: torrent-service
            port:
              number: 8080

Thanks to @matt_j I have found a workaround. I wrote and YAML for nginx myself and added the configurations from the post mentioned by matt ( https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/NGINX-Reverse-Proxy-for-Web-UI ) and it worked.

These are the YAMLs I came up with:

server.yaml:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx
  labels:
    app: nginx
  namespace: nginx
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      pod-label: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        pod-label: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:latest
        volumeMounts:
          - name: nginx-conf
            mountPath: /etc/nginx/
      volumes:
        - name: nginx-conf
          configMap:
            name: nginx-conf
            items:
            - key: nginx.conf
              path: nginx.conf
  replicas: 1

                    listen 80;
                    location /torrent/ {
                            proxy_pass              http://torrent-service.qbittorrent:8080/;
                            #proxy_http_version      1.1;

                            proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For         $remote_addr;
                            #proxy_cookie_path      /                       "/; Secure";
                            }
            }
    }

    events {
        worker_connections  1024;
    }
