============
ingress-shim
============
cert-manager can be configured to automatically provision TLS certificates for
Ingress resources via annotations on your Ingresses.
A small sub-component of cert-manager, ingress-shim, is responsible for this.
How it works
============
ingress-shim watches Ingress resources across your cluster. If it observes an
Ingress with *any* of the annotations described in the 'Usage' section, it will
ensure a Certificate resource with the same name as the Ingress, and configured
as described on the Ingress exists. For example:
.. code-block:: yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
# add an annotation indicating the issuer to use.
certmanager.k8s.io/cluster-issuer: nameOfClusterIssuer
name: myIngress
namespace: myIngress
spec:
rules:
- host: myingress.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: myservice
servicePort: 80
path: /
tls: # < placing a host in the TLS config will indicate a cert should be created
- hosts:
- myingress.com
secretName: myingress-cert # < cert-manager will store the created certificate in this secret.
Configuration
=============
Since cert-manager v0.2.2, ingress-shim is deployed automatically as part of a
Helm chart installation.
If you would also like to use the old kube-lego_ ``kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"``
annotation for fully automated TLS, you will need to configure a default Issuer
when deploying cert-manager. This can be done by adding the following ``--set``
when deploying using Helm:
.. code-block:: shell
--set ingressShim.defaultIssuerName=letsencrypt-prod \
--set ingressShim.defaultIssuerKind=ClusterIssuer
In the above example, cert-manager will create Certificate resources that reference the ClusterIssuer `letsencrypt-prod` for all Ingresses that have a ``kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"`` annotation.
For more information on deploying cert-manager, read the :doc:`deployment guide </getting-started/index>`.
Supported annotations
=====================
You can specify the following annotations on ingresses in order to trigger
Certificate resources to be automatically created:
* ``certmanager.k8s.io/issuer`` - the name of an Issuer to acquire the
certificate required for this ingress from. The Issuer **must** be in the same
namespace as the Ingress resource.
* ``certmanager.k8s.io/cluster-issuer`` - the name of a ClusterIssuer to acquire
the certificate required for this ingress from. It does not matter which
namespace your Ingress resides, as ClusterIssuers are non-namespaced resources.
* ``certmanager.k8s.io/acme-challenge-type`` - by default, if the Issuer
specified is an ACME issuer (either through ingress-shim's defaults, or with
one of the above annotations), the ingress-shim will set the ACME challenge
mechanism on the Certificate resource it creates to 'http01'. This annotation
can be used to alter this behaviour. Must be one of 'http01' or 'dns01'.
* ``certmanager.k8s.io/acme-dns01-provider`` - if the ACME challenge type has
been set to dns01, this annotation **must** be specified to instruct
cert-manager which DNS provider (as configured on the specified Issuer resource)
should be used. This field is required if the challenge type is set to DNS01.
* ``certmanager.k8s.io/acme-http01-ingress-class`` - if the ACME challenge type has
been set to http01, this annotation allows you to configure ingress class
that will be used to solve challenges for this ingress. Customising this is useful
when you are trying to secure internal services, and need to solve challenges
using different ingress class to that of the ingress. If not specified and
the 'acme-http01-edit-in-place' annotation is not set, this defaults to the ingress
class of the ingress resource.
* ``kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"`` - this annotation requires additional
configuration of the ingress-shim (see above). Namely, a default issuer must be
specified as arguments to the ingress-shim container.
* ``certmanager.k8s.io/acme-http01-edit-in-place: "true"`` - if the ACME challenge type
has been set to http01, and the ingress has the 'kubernetes.io/tls-acme: true'
annotation, this controls whether the ingress is modified 'in-place', or a new
one created specifically for the http01 challenge. If present, and set to "true"
the existing ingress will be modified. Any other value, or the absence of the
annotation assumes "false".
