Issue Let’s Encrypt certificate using HTTP-01 challenge

Deploy Voyager operator

Install Voyager operator in your cluster following the steps here.

Create Ingress

2. 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
   

3. Now create Ingress ing.yaml

   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/v12.0.0/docs/examples/certificate/http/ing.yaml
   

4. Wait for the LoadBalancer 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
   

5. Now wait a bit for DNS to propagate. Run the following command to confirm DNS propagation.

   $ dig +short kiteci.com
   104.198.234.66
   

6. Now open URL http://kiteci.com . This should show you the familiar nginx welcome page.

Create Certificate

7. 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 [email protected]
   

8. Create the Certificate CRD to issue TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt using HTTP challenge.

   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appscode/voyager/v12.0.0/docs/examples/certificate/http/crt.yaml
   

9. Now wait a bit and you should see a new secret named tls-kitecicom. This contains the tls.crt and tls.key. This secret must not have any dashes or other special characters.

   $ 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
   Name:		kitecicom
   Namespace:	default
   Labels:		<none>

   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

9. 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.

10. 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:

    $ curl -vv http://kiteci.com
