Helm chart for the cert-manager app running in Giant Swarm clusters.
This repository contains the source of the helm chart for the Giant Swarm cert-manager app. This fork tracks the upstream chart closely but contains some changes to make it run smoothly on Giant Swarm clusters.
cert-manager adds certificates and certificate issuers (e.g. Let's Encrypt (ACME)) as resource types in Kubernetes clusters, and simplifies the process of obtaining, renewing and using those certificates.
There are 2 ways to install this app onto a workload cluster. If your clusters are running on AWS, cert-manager is already installed as a default app.
- Using our web interface
- Directly creating the App custom resource on the management cluster.
First, an Issuer should be configured. There are several ways to issue certificates through cert-manager. Check upstream documentation for your use case.
Configuration options are documented in Configuration.md document.
Before upgrading, please check Upgrading.md.
If you have suggestions for how cert-manager could be improved, or want to report a bug, open an issue! We'd love all and any contributions.
Check out the Contributing Guide for details on the contribution workflow, submitting patches, and reporting bugs.
- Ensure CHANGELOG.md is up to date.
- Create a new branch to trigger the release workflow as either a patch, minor, or major. E.g. to release a patch, create a branch from main called
release#patchand push it. Automation will create a release PR. - Merging the release PR will push a new git tag and trigger a new tarball to be pushed to the giantswarm-catalog.
- Test and verify the cert-manager release across supported environments in a new or existing WIP platform release.
