• cert-manager version 0.11.0 or higher (tested with 0.12.0):

  • Installing on Kubernetes

• k8s-dns-manager installed and configured

1. Clone this repository:

   $ git clone https://github.com/linka-cloud/cert-manager-webhook-k8s-dns-manager.git && \
        cd cert-manager-webhook-k8s-dns-manager

2. Run:

   $ helm install cert-manager-webhook-k8s-dns ./deploy/cert-manager-webhook-k8s-dns

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linka-cloud/cert-manager-webhook-k8s-dns-manager/main/deploy/manifests.yaml

Here is an example using the Let's Encrypt staging environment. To go to the production environment, replace https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory with https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

1. Create a certificate issuer:

   apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1alpha2
   kind: Issuer # or ClusterIssuer to have it available in every namespaces
   metadata:
     name: letsencrypt
   spec:
     acme:
       server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
       email: '<YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS>'
       privateKeySecretRef:
         name: letsencrypt-account-key
       solvers:
       - dns01:
           webhook:
             groupName: acme.dns.linka.cloud
             solverName: k8s-dns
             config:
               namespace: cert-manager

2. Issue a certificate:

   apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1alpha2
   kind: Certificate
   metadata:
     name: example-com
   spec:
     dnsNames:
     - example.com
     - *.example.com
     issuerRef:
       name: letsencrypt
     secretName: example-com-tls

All DNS providers must run the DNS01 provider conformance testing suite, else they will have undetermined behaviour when used with cert-manager.

The tests require Docker to be installed on the local machine, and Kind, which is downloaded when the tests are launched.

You can run the test suite with:

$ make verify

The tests may fail at the first run, but should pass the next time.
