deSEC Webhook for cert-manager

A cert-manager webhook to solve an ACME DNS01 challenge using the deSEC API

Prerequisites

A Kubernetes cluster with cert-manager deployed. If you haven't already installed cert-manger, follow the guide here.

Deployment

Using regular manifests

An example webhook deployment, with it's associated roles, role bindings, service and required tls certificates, is provided in the file examples/deploy/desec-webhook.yaml. The example manifest will deploy to the default namespace. To set a different namespace, replace all instances of default with the namespace of your choice. Don't miss the annotation cert-manager.io/inject-ca-from in the APIService or the dnsNames for the webhook Certificate. The following will replace all the necessary namespace references in the example manifest:

$ sed -i 's/default/yournamespace/g' examples/deploy/desec-webhook.yaml

Once you're satisfied with the changes, deploy the webhook with:

$ kubectl apply -f examples/deploy/desec-webhook.yaml

Using Helm

Usage

Deploy an API Token Secret

The deSEC API token needs to placed into a kubernetes secret. You can use the file examples\desec-token.yaml as a starting point. Place your Base64-encoded API token into the manifest. This can be obtained with:

$ echo -n "your-api-token" | base64

Deploy an Issuer

An example ClusterIssuer is provided in the examples/letsencrypt-staging-issuer.yaml file. It uses the letsencrypt staging server, but it can be adapted for the letsencrypt production server or other acme server. Issuer can be used instead of ClusterIssuer if you only want to issue certificates in a single namespace.

Deploy a Certificate

An example certificate manifest is provide in examples/test-certificate.yaml. Edit as required for production certificates.

Check the Certificate

Use the following check the deployed certificate, replacing test-example-com-tls with the secretName you used in the previous step.

$ kubectl get secret test-example-com-tls -o json | jq -r '.data."tls.crt"' | base64 -d | openssl x509 -text -noout

Building

$ make build

Running the test suite

All DNS providers must run the DNS01 provider conformance testing suite, else they will have undetermined behaviour when used with cert-manager.

See here for testing details.
