Document wildcard certificate tutorial

Open meyskens opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I noticed we nowhere have instructions how to do a wildcard certificate with let's encrypt. We should write a documentation page with instructions to create a Certificate resource with a wildcard in the dnsname to a DNS01 ACME issuer then pointing the ingress to that secret.

@munnerz am i correct this is the easiest way?

It should also be possible to do this via ingress-shim with an appropriately configured selector on the Issuer resource. Either using dnsNames or matchLabels (labels set on the Ingress will be copied across to the Certificate).

This is assuming you entered a wildcard in your Ingress resource too 🙂. If you are sharing a single wildcard cert between multiple things, then yes creating a Certificate resource manually makes most sense.
