Issue Let’s Encrypt certificate using HTTP-01 challenge

Deploy Voyager operator

Deploy Voyager operator following instructions here.

# install without RBAC
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/10.0.0/hack/deploy/voyager.sh \
  | bash -s -- --provider=gke

If you are trying this on a RBAC enabled cluster, pass the flag --rbac to installer script.

# install with RBAC
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/10.0.0/hack/deploy/voyager.sh \
  | bash -s -- --provider=gke --rbac

Create Ingress

  1. We are going to use a nginx server as the backend. To deploy nginx server, run the following commands:
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx
kubectl expose deployment nginx --name=web --port=80 --target-port=80
  1. Now create Ingress ing.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/10.0.0/docs/examples/certificate/http/ing.yaml
  1. Wait for the LoadBlanacer ip to be assigned. Once the IP is assigned update your DNS provider to set the LoadBlancer IP as the A record for test domain kiteci.com
$ kubectl get svc  voyager-test-ingress
NAME                   CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP      PORT(S)                      AGE
voyager-test-ingress   10.39.243.239   104.198.234.66   80:32266/TCP,443:31282/TCP   19m
  1. Now wait a bit for DNs to propagate. Run the following command to confirm DNS propagation.
$ dig +short kiteci.com
104.198.234.66
  1. Now open URL http://kiteci.com . This should show you the familiar nginx welcome page.

Create Certificate

  1. Create a secret to provide ACME user email. Change the email to a valid email address and run the following command:
kubectl create secret generic acme-account --from-literal=ACME_EMAIL=me@example.com
  1. Create the Certificate CRD to issue TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt using HTTP challenge.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/10.0.0/docs/examples/certificate/http/crt.yaml
  1. Now wait a bit and you should see a new secret named tls-kitecicom. This contains the tls.crt and tls.key .
$ kubectl get secrets
NAME                  TYPE                                  DATA      AGE
acme-account          Opaque                                3         20m
default-token-zj0wv   kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3         30m
tls-kitecicom         kubernetes.io/tls                     2         19m
$ kubectl describe cert kitecicom

If you look at the Ingress, you should see that /.well-known/acme-challenge/ path has been added to rules. It should look like this.

If you check the configmap voyager-test-ingress, you should see a key haproxy.cfg with the value similar to this.

Update Ingress to use TLS

  1. Now edit the Ingress to add spec.tls section.
$ kubectl edit ingress.voyager.appscode.com test-ingress

spec:
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - kiteci.com
    ref:
      kind: Secret
      name: tls-kitecicom

After editing, your Ingress should look similar to this.

  1. Now wait several seconds for HAProxy to reconfigure. If you check the configmap voyager-test-ingress, you should see a key haproxy.cfg with the value similar to this.

Now try the following commands:
