cert-manager is a Kubernetes addon to automate the management and issuance of TLS certificates from various issuing sources.
It will ensure certificates are valid and up to date periodically, and attempt to renew certificates at an appropriate time before expiry.
- Kubernetes 1.7+
Full installation instructions, including details on how to configure extra functionality in cert-manager can be found in the getting started docs.
To install the chart with the release name my-release:
## IMPORTANT: you MUST install the cert-manager CRDs **before** installing the
## cert-manager Helm chart
$ kubectl apply \
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetstack/cert-manager/release-0.9/deploy/manifests/00-crds.yaml
## If you are installing on openshift :
$ oc create \
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetstack/cert-manager/release-0.9/deploy/manifests/00-crds.yaml
## IMPORTANT: if the cert-manager namespace **already exists**, you MUST ensure
## it has an additional label on it in order for the deployment to succeed
$ kubectl label namespace cert-manager certmanager.k8s.io/disable-validation="true"
## For openshift:
$ oc label namespace cert-manager certmanager.k8s.io/disable-validation=true
## Add the Jetstack Helm repository
$ helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
## Install the cert-manager helm chart
$ helm install --name my-release --namespace cert-manager jetstack/cert-managerIn order to begin issuing certificates, you will need to set up a ClusterIssuer or Issuer resource (for example, by creating a 'letsencrypt-staging' issuer).
More information on the different types of issuers and how to configure them can be found in our documentation:
https://docs.cert-manager.io/en/latest/tasks/issuers/index.html
For information on how to configure cert-manager to automatically provision
Certificates for Ingress resources, take a look at the ingress-shim
documentation:
https://docs.cert-manager.io/en/latest/tasks/issuing-certificates/ingress-shim.html
Tip: List all releases using
helm list
Special considerations may be required when upgrading the Helm chart, and these are documented in our full upgrading guide. Please check here before perform upgrades!
To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:
$ helm delete my-releaseThe command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
