Unable to self sign certificate nginx ingress k3s


I'm new to K3s, and have struggle with this step for a few days.

Environment: Ubuntu 20.04 | K3s installation without Traefik.

K3s installation script:

curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_EXEC="server --no-deploy=traefik" sh -s -

Nginx ingress installation script

helm repo add nginx-stable https://helm.nginx.com/stable
helm repo update
helm install my-release nginx-stable/nginx-ingress

Cert-manager installation script

helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
helm install \
  cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \
  --namespace cert-manager \
  --create-namespace \
  --version v1.3.1 \
  --set installCRDs=true

Verified with Cert-manager verifier

Create a testing namespace to play with kubectl create ns practice-cls

I don't know if there was anything wrong with this, the kuard image was just a tutorial service from cert-manager. And I got ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT from the manifests above.

Let me know if there's some more information to troubleshoot this.

Thank you guys


Solution

  • After a while searching and experiment, I manage to handle this by:

    Using K8s nginx ingress instead of the official one provide by nginx themself

    Enable SSL passthrough either by editing the deployment of nginx controller or enable that right when installing
