Waiting on certificate issuance from order status "pending"

I'm running into an issue handling tls certificates with cert-manager, I'm following the documentation and added some extras to work with Traefik as an ingress.

Currently, I have this YAML files:

cluster-issuer.yaml

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1alpha2
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-staging
  namespace: secure-alexguedescom
spec:
  acme:
    email: user@gmail.com
    server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    privateKeySecretRef:
      # Secret resource used to store the account's private key.
      name: letsencrypt-staging
    # Add a single challenge solver, HTTP01 using nginx
    solvers:
      - selector: {}
        http01:
          ingress:
            class: traefik-cert-manager

traefik-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    # add an annotation indicating the issuer to use.
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-staging
  name: secure-alexguedescom-ingress-http
  namespace: secure-alexguedescom
spec:
  rules:
  - host: secure.alexguedes.com
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: secure-alexguedescom-nginx
          servicePort: 80
        path: /
  tls: 
  - hosts:
    - secure.alexguedes.com
    secretName: secure-alexguedescom-cert 

cert-staging.yaml

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1alpha2
kind: Certificate
metadata:
  name: secure-alexguedescom-cert
  namespace: secure-alexguedescom
spec:
  commonName: secure.alexguedes.com
  secretName: letsencrypt-staging
  dnsNames:
    - secure.alexguedes.com
  issuerRef:
    name: letsencrypt-staging
    kind: ClusterIssuer

Inspecting the certs I have this error message:

Message: Issuing certificate as Secret does not contain a certificate
Reason: MissingData

Also inspecting the certificaterequest I have this log messages:

Status:
  Conditions:
    Last Transition Time:  2020-08-16T00:32:01Z

    Reason:                Pending
    Status:                False
    Type:                  Ready

  Normal  OrderPending  11m   cert-manager  Waiting on certificate issuance from order secure-alexguedescom/secure-alexguedescom-cert-q8w5p-1982372682: ""

I'm not sure which piece is wrong, using Helm v2 with Tiller and k8s v1.7

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

The typical problem with letsencrypt certs is the letsencrypt itself not being able to validate who you are and that you own the domain. In this case, alexguedes.com.

With cert-manager you can do Domain Validation and HTTP Validation. Based on the posted ClusterIssuer you are doing HTTP Validation. So you need to make sure that secure.alexguedes.com resolves to a globally available IP address and that Traefik port 443 is listening on that IP address.
