| # ACME webhook for Gandi (cert-manager-webhook-gandi) |
| `cert-manager-webhook-gandi` is an ACME webhook for [cert-manager]. It provides an ACME (read: Let's Encrypt) webhook for [cert-manager], which allows to use a `DNS-01` challenge with [Gandi]. This allows to provide Let's Encrypt certificates to [Kubernetes] for service protocols other than HTTP and furthermore to request wildcard certificates. Internally it uses the [Gandi LiveDNS API] to communicate with Gandi. |
| |
| Quoting the [ACME DNS-01 challenge]: |
| |
| > This challenge asks you to prove that you control the DNS for your domain name by putting a specific value in a TXT record under that domain name. It is harder to configure than HTTP-01, but can work in scenarios that HTTP-01 can’t. It also allows you to issue wildcard certificates. After Let’s Encrypt gives your ACME client a token, your client will create a TXT record derived from that token and your account key, and put that record at _acme-challenge.<YOUR_DOMAIN>. Then Let’s Encrypt will query the DNS system for that record. If it finds a match, you can proceed to issue a certificate! |

| ## Building |
| Build the container image `cert-manager-webhook-gandi:latest`: |
| |
| make build |
| |
| |
| ## Image |
| Ready made images are hosted on Docker Hub ([image tags]). Use at your own risk: |
| |
| bwolf/cert-manager-webhook-gandi |
| |
| |
| ### Release History |
| Refer to the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) file. |
| |
| |
| ## Compatibility |
| This webhook has been tested with [cert-manager] v1.5.4 and Kubernetes v1.22.2 on `amd64`. In theory it should work on other hardware platforms as well but no steps have been taken to verify this. Please drop me a note if you had success. |
| |
| |
| ## Testing with Minikube |
| 1. Build this webhook in Minikube: |
| |
| minikube start --memory=4G --more-options |
| eval $(minikube docker-env) |
| make build |
| docker images | grep webhook |
| |
| 2. Install [cert-manager] with [Helm]: |
| |
| helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io |
| |
| helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \ |
| --namespace cert-manager \ |
| --create-namespace \ |
| --set installCRDs=true \ |
| --version v1.5.4 \ |
| --set 'extraArgs={--dns01-recursive-nameservers=8.8.8.8:53\,1.1.1.1:53}' |
| |
| kubectl get pods --namespace cert-manager --watch |
| |
| **Note**: refer to Name servers in the official [documentation][setting-nameservers-for-dns01-self-check] according the `extraArgs`. |
| |
| **Note**: ensure that the custom CRDS of cert-manager match the major version of the cert-manager release by comparing the URL of the CRDS with the helm info of the charts app version: |
| |
| helm search repo jetstack |
| |
| Example output: |
| |
| NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION DESCRIPTION |
| jetstack/cert-manager v1.5.4 v1.5.4 A Helm chart for cert-manager |
| |
| Check the state and ensure that all pods are running fine (watch out for any issues regarding the `cert-manager-webhook-` pod and its volume mounts): |
| |
| kubectl describe pods -n cert-manager | less |
| |
| |
| 3. Create the secret to keep the Gandi API key in the cert-manager namespace: |
| |
| kubectl create secret generic gandi-credentials \ |
| --namespace cert-manager --from-literal=api-token='<GANDI-API-KEY>' |
| |
| *The `Secret` must reside in the same namespace as `cert-manager`.* |
| |
| 4. Deploy this webhook (add `--dry-run` to try it and `--debug` to inspect the rendered manifests; Set `logLevel` to 6 for verbose logs): |
| |
| *The `features.apiPriorityAndFairness` argument must be removed or set to `false` for Kubernetes older than 1.20.* |
| |
| helm install cert-manager-webhook-gandi \ |
| --namespace cert-manager \ |
| --set features.apiPriorityAndFairness=true \ |
| --set image.repository=cert-manager-webhook-gandi \ |
| --set image.tag=latest \ |
| --set logLevel=2 \ |
| ./deploy/cert-manager-webhook-gandi |
| |
| To deploy using the image from Docker Hub (for example using the `0.2.0` tag): |
| |
| helm install cert-manager-webhook-gandi \ |
| --namespace cert-manager \ |
| --set features.apiPriorityAndFairness=true \ |
| --set image.tag=0.2.0 \ |
| --set logLevel=2 \ |
| ./deploy/cert-manager-webhook-gandi |
| |
| To deploy using the Helm repository (for example using the `v0.2.0` version): |
| |
| helm install cert-manager-webhook-gandi \ |
| --repo https://bwolf.github.io/cert-manager-webhook-gandi \ |
| --version v0.2.0 \ |
| --namespace cert-manager \ |
| --set features.apiPriorityAndFairness=true \ |
| --set logLevel=2 |
| |
| Check the logs |
| |
| kubectl get pods -n cert-manager --watch |
| kubectl logs -n cert-manager cert-manager-webhook-gandi-XYZ |
| |
| 6. Create a staging issuer (email addresses with the suffix `example.com` are forbidden). |
| |
| See [letsencrypt-staging-issuer.yaml](examples/issuers/letsencrypt-staging-issuer.yaml) |
| |
| Don't forget to replace email `invalid@example.com`. |
| |
| Check status of the Issuer: |
| |
| kubectl describe issuer letsencrypt-staging |
| |
| You can deploy a ClusterIssuer instead : see [letsencrypt-staging-clusterissuer.yaml](examples/issuers/letsencrypt-staging-clusterissuer.yaml) |
| |
| *Note*: The production Issuer is [similar][ACME documentation]. |
| |
| 7. Issue a [Certificate] for your domain: see [certif-example-com.yaml](examples/certificates/certif-example-com.yaml) |
| |
| Replace `your-domain` and `your.domain` in the [certif-example-com.yaml](examples/certificates/certif-example-com.yaml) |
| |
| Create the Certificate: |
| |
| kubectl apply -f ./examples/certificates/certif-example-com.yaml |
| |
| Check the status of the Certificate: |
| |
| kubectl describe certificate example-com |
| |
| Display the details like the common name and subject alternative names: |
| |
| kubectl get secret example-com-tls -o yaml |
| |
| If you deployed a ClusterIssuer : use [certif-example-com-clusterissuer.yaml](examples/certificates/certif-example-com-clusterissuer.yaml) |
| |
| 8. Issue a wildcard Certificate for your domain: see [certif-wildcard-example-com.yaml](examples/certificates/certif-wildcard-example-com.yaml) |
| |
| Replace `your-domain` and `your.domain` in the [certif-wildcard-example-com.yaml](examples/certificates/certif-wildcard-example-com.yaml) |
| |
| Create the Certificate: |
| |
| kubectl apply -f ./examples/certificates/certif-wildcard-example-com.yaml |
| |
| Check the status of the Certificate: |
| |
| kubectl describe certificate wildcard-example-com |
| |
| Display the details like the common name and subject alternative names: |
| |
| kubectl get secret wildcard-example-com-tls -o yaml |
| |
| If you deployed a ClusterIssuer : use [certif-wildcard-example-com-clusterissuer.yaml](examples/certificates/certif-wildcard-example-com-clusterissuer.yaml) |
| |
| 9. Uninstall this webhook: |
| |
| helm uninstall cert-manager-webhook-gandi --namespace cert-manager |
| kubectl delete gandi-credentials --namespace cert-manager |
| |
| 10. Uninstalling cert-manager: |
| This is out of scope here. Refer to the official [documentation][cert-manager-uninstall]. |
| |
| |
| ## Development |
| **Note**: If some tool (IDE or build process) fails resolving a dependency, it may be the cause that a indirect dependency uses `bzr` for versioning. In such a case it may help to put the `bzr` binary into `$PATH` or `$GOPATH/bin`. |
| |
| |
| ## Release process (automated with [GitHub actions](.github/workflows/main.yml)) |
| - Changes in the Go code result in the build of a Docker image and the release of a new Helm chart |
| - Changes at Helm chart level only, result in the release of a new Chart without building a new Docker image |
| - All other changes are pushed to master |
| - All versions are to be documented in [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) |
| |
| **Note**: All changes to the Go code or Helm chart must go with a version tag `vX.X.X` to trigger the GitHub workflow |
| |
| **Note**: Any Helm chart release results in the creation of a [GitHub release](https://github.com/bwolf/cert-manager-webhook-gandi/releases) |
| |
| ## Conformance test |
| Please note that the test is not a typical unit or integration test. Instead it invokes the web hook in a Kubernetes-like environment which asks the web hook to really call the DNS provider (.i.e. Gandi). It attempts to create an `TXT` entry like `cert-manager-dns01-tests.example.com`, verifies the presence of the entry via Google DNS. Finally it removes the entry by calling the cleanup method of web hook. |
| |
| As said above, the conformance test is run against the real Gandi API. Therefore you *must* have a Gandi account, a domain and an API key. |
| |
| ``` shell |
| cp testdata/gandi/api-key.yaml.sample testdata/gandi/api-key.yaml |
| echo -n $YOUR_GANDI_API_KEY | base64 | pbcopy # or xclip |
| $EDITOR testdata/gandi/api-key.yaml |
| TEST_ZONE_NAME=example.com. make test |
| make clean |
| ``` |
