# cert-manager
Provision TLS Certificate for Traefik Proxy with cert-manager on Kubernetes
{: .subtitle }
## Pre-requisites
To obtain certificates from cert-manager that can be used in Traefik Proxy, you will need to:
1. Have cert-manager properly configured
2. Have Traefik Proxy configured
The certificates can then be used in an Ingress / IngressRoute / HTTPRoute.
## Example with ACME and HTTP challenge
!!! example "ACME issuer for HTTP challenge"
```yaml tab="Issuer"
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Issuer
metadata:
name: acme
spec:
acme:
# Production server is on https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
# Use staging by default.
server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
privateKeySecretRef:
name: acme
solvers:
- http01:
ingress:
ingressClassName: traefik
```
```yaml tab="Certificate"
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
name: whoami
namespace: traefik
spec:
secretName: domain-tls # <=== Name of secret where the generated certificate will be stored.
dnsNames:
- "domain.example.com"
issuerRef:
name: acme
kind: Issuer
```
Let's see now how to use it with the various Kubernetes providers of Traefik Proxy.
The enabled providers can be seen on the [dashboard](../../operations/dashboard/) of Traefik Proxy and also in the INFO logs when Traefik Proxy starts.
### With an Ingress
To use this certificate with an Ingress, the [Kubernetes Ingress](../../providers/kubernetes-ingress/) provider has to be enabled.
!!! info Traefik Helm Chart
This provider is enabled by default in the Traefik Helm Chart.
!!! example "Route with this Certificate"
```yaml tab="Ingress"
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: domain
annotations:
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.entrypoints: websecure
spec:
rules:
- host: domain.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Exact
backend:
service:
name: domain-service
port:
number: 80
tls:
- secretName: domain-tls # <=== Use the name defined in Certificate resource.
```
### With an IngressRoute
To use this certificate with an IngressRoute, the [Kubernetes CRD](../../providers/kubernetes-crd) provider has to be enabled.
!!! info Traefik Helm Chart
This provider is enabled by default in the Traefik Helm Chart.
!!! example "Route with this Certificate"
```yaml tab="IngressRoute"
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
name: domain
spec:
entryPoints:
- websecure
routes:
- match: Host(`domain.example.com`)
kind: Rule
services:
- name: domain-service
port: 80
tls:
secretName: domain-tls # <=== Use the name defined in Certificate resource.
```
### With an HTTPRoute
To use this certificate with an HTTPRoute, the [Kubernetes Gateway](../../routing/providers/kubernetes-gateway) provider has to be enabled.
!!! info Traefik Helm Chart
This provider is disabled by default in the Traefik Helm Chart.
!!! example "Route with this Certificate"
```yaml tab="HTTPRoute"
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Gateway
metadata:
name: domain-gateway
spec:
gatewayClassName: traefik
listeners:
- name: websecure
port: 8443
protocol: HTTPS
hostname: domain.example.com
tls:
certificateRefs:
- name: domain-tls # <==== Use the name defined in Certificate resource.
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: HTTPRoute
metadata:
name: domain
spec:
parentRefs:
- name: domain-gateway
hostnames:
- domain.example.com
rules:
- matches:
- path:
type: Exact
value: /
backendRefs:
- name: domain-service
port: 80
weight: 1
```
## Troubleshooting
There are multiple event sources available to investigate when using cert-manager:
1. Kubernetes events in `Certificate` and `CertificateRequest` resources
2. cert-manager logs
3. Dashboard and/or (debug) logs from Traefik Proxy
cert-manager documentation provides a [detailed guide](https://cert-manager.io/docs/troubleshooting/) on how to troubleshoot a certificate request.
