kube-cert-manager will answer HTTP challenges on port 8080,
you will need to setup a proxy or service definition that correctly directs requests on your domain on port 80 to the kube-cert-manager
If using a proxy, only /.well-known/acme-challenge/ needs to be forwarded to the kube-cert-manager. Please note, kube-cert-manager
matches the Host header of the request; it must be passed through the proxy.
kube-cert-manager will answer TLS-SNI challenges on port 8081 You will need to setup a port forwarder or service definition that correctly directs packets on your domain on port 443 to the kube-cert-manager. This provider is not very convenient when needing to serve a website on the actual domain, due to needing exclusive access on port 443. As such, it is not recommended.
kube-cert-manager uses environment variables within the pod to fetch credentials required for various DNS providers. Making those correctly accessible to kube-cert-manager will require editing the pod deployment spec at k8s/deployment.md
The recommended way to do this is to mount secrets as either environment variables or as files, depending on what the provider requires. See Using secrets as environment variables and Using secrets as files from pods
CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL: The email of the cloudflare user
CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY: The API key corresponding to the email
CLOUDXNS_API_KEY: The CloudXNS API key.
CLOUDXNS_SECRET_KEY: The CloudXNS Secret key.
DO_AUTH_TOKEN: The digital ocean authorization token
DNSIMPLE_BASE_URL: The DNSimple v2 API url (can be omitted since it defaults to https://api.dnsimple.com/v2/)
DNSIMPLE_OAUTH_TOKEN: The DNSimple OAuth token
DNSMADEEASY_API_KEY: The API key for DNS Made Easy
DNSMADEEASY_API_SECRET: The api secret corresponding with the API key

The rfc2136 provider works with any DNS provider implementing the DNS Update rfc2136. the TSIG variables need only be set if using TSIG authentication.
RFC2136_NAMESERVER: The network address of the provider, in the form of "host" or "host:port"
RFC2136_TSIG_ALGORITHM: The algorithm to use for TSIG authentication.
RFC2136_TSIG_KEY: The key to use for TSIG authentication.
RFC2136_TSIG_SECRET: The secret to use for TSIG authentication.
There are two ways to specify Route53 credentials. Either the credentials can be added to ~/.aws/credentials by mounting the secret to a file.
Or the following environment variables can be set:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: The access key ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: The secret corresponding to the access key
VULTR_API_KEY: The API key to use
