Minikube and Let's Encrypt

This repository contains sources for a related medium.com article with more details. It explains how to connect a local Minikube cluster to the public Internet and generate a Let's Encrypt certificate.

To use the shell script directly, change the first few environment variables to meet your needs:

export PUBLICURL="your.domain.com"
export CERTLEVEL="stage"  # use "stage" or "prod"
export EMAIL="your.email@emailprovider.com"

After adjusting the variables above in the script, call it and wait for 10 minutes... you may have a certificate generated that can be reused :-) Checkout details at medium.com.

Prerequisites

• A domain name that you control and that can map to your network.
• A Linux PC with Ubuntu 20.04.
• Minikube version 1.19+ or better.
• virtualbox.

Updates

• May 7, 2021: There is a followup repository available here that shows how to add OAuth2 authentication to this Kubernetes application.
