cert-manager

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.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.7+

Installing the Chart

Full installation instructions, including details on how to configure extra functionality in cert-manager can be found in the official deploying docs.

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/cert-manager

In 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://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/tree/master/docs/api-types/issuer

For information on how to configure cert-manager to automatically provision Certificates for Ingress resources, take a look at the ingress-shim documentation:

https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/blob/master/docs/user-guides/ingress-shim.md

Tip

: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the cert-manager chart and their default values.

extraArgs Optional flags for cert-manager []
rbac.create If true, create and use RBAC resources true
serviceAccount.create If true, create a new service account true
serviceAccount.name Service account to be used. If not set and serviceAccount.create is true, a name is generated using the fullname template ``
resources CPU/memory resource requests/limits requests: {cpu: 10m, memory: 32Mi}
nodeSelector Node labels for pod assignment {}
ingressShim.enabled Enable ingress-shim for automatic ingress integration true
ingressShim.extraArgs Optional flags for ingress-shim []
ingressShim.resources CPU/memory resource requests/limits for ingress-shim requests: {cpu: 10m, memory: 32Mi}

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml .

Tip

: You can use the default values.yaml
