Documentation Request #8

Hi,

By reading the documentation and comparing with the official cert-manager documentation, i'm wondering what are the correct steps to install this cert-manager-plugin.

Should i install cert-manager first, then this plugin ? If not, what about the CRDs ? Does the Helm charts automatically take care of CRD creation ? or should i just create the CRDs manually as per cert-manager doc, and just replace the cert-manager install part with the one from this module ?

Just a bit confuse about how to put it together. Any insights ?

Best regards,

Hello @vdnclodio,

The correct installation order would be to install cert-manager first, following the instructions at https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/.

Then, to install this webhook plugin, you can follow the installation instructions in the README: https://github.com/zachomedia/cert-manager-webhook-pdns#installing. This plugin doesn't replace cert-manager, instead it exposes a webhook that cert-manager will call to insert the appropriate DNS records in powerdns to perform the domain validation.

Following that, you would make your Issuer (or ClusterIssuer). If you want to learn more about that in https://cert-manager.io/docs/concepts/issuer/. An example configuration that uses this plugin is also provided in the README: https://github.com/zachomedia/cert-manager-webhook-pdns#issuerclusterissuer

After that, all you need to do is make your Certificate objects and cert-manager will do the rest!

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
