Deployment files

This directory previously contained the Kubernetes manifests needed to deploy cert-manager.

For full information on deploying cert-manager, see the getting started guide.

Where are the manifests now?

From v0.8 onwards, the 'static deployment manifests' are generated automatically from the official helm chart.

When a new release of cert-manager is cut, these manifests will be automatically generated and published as an asset attached to the GitHub release.

How can I generate my own manifests?

If you want to build a copy of your own manifests for testing purposes, you can do so using Bazel.

To build the manifests, run:

$ bazel build //deploy/manifests:cert-manager.yaml

This will generate the static deployment manifests at bazel-bin/deploy/manifests/cert-manager.yaml.
