Installing OpenShift Routes using Helm¶

Learn how to install OpenShift Routes for cert-manager using Helm.

Important

If you use your own registry, which replicates the Venafi images, replace the address of your own registry in any of the relevant commands given on this page.

Step 1: Configure access to the Venafi OCI registry¶

Configure access to the Venafi OCI registry. Follow the instructions in Configuring access to the Venafi OCI Registry to enable access to the artifacts required for this component (cert-manager Components is the default scope for cert-manager). Use venafi as the namespace.

The sample file below, for example, assumes you created a Kubernetes Secret using venafi as the namespace and venafi-image-pull-secret as the name of the secret.

Step 2: Install cert-manager using Helm¶

If you are running OpenShift Routes you must also install cert-manager.

To install cert-manager in the venafi namespace, and configure it to use the pull-secret, create a file cert-manager.values.yaml containing the following content.

US RegionEU RegionOwn Registry

A sample cert-manager.values.yaml for users of the US region OCI registry:

cert-manager.values.yaml

global:
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: venafi-image-pull-secret

crds:
  enabled: true

image:
  repository: private-registry.venafi.cloud/cert-manager/cert-manager-controller

acmesolver:
  image:
    repository: private-registry.venafi.cloud/cert-manager/cert-manager-acmesolver

webhook:

    repository: private-registry.venafi.cloud/cert-manager/cert-manager-webhook

    repository: private-registry.venafi.cloud/cert-manager/cert-manager-cainjector

    repository: private-registry.venafi.cloud/cert-manager/cert-manager-startupapicheck

A sample cert-manager.values.yaml for users of the EU region OCI registry:

cert-manager.values.yaml

global:
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: venafi-image-pull-secret

crds:
  enabled: true

image:
  repository: private-registry.venafi.eu/cert-manager/cert-manager-controller

startupapicheck:

    repository: private-registry.venafi.eu/cert-manager/cert-manager-startupapicheck

A sample cert-manager.values.yaml for users with their own OCI registry:

cert-manager.values.yaml

global:
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: venafi-image-pull-secret

crds:
  enabled: true

image:
  repository: myregistry.example.com/cert-manager/cert-manager-controller

acmesolver:
  image:
    repository: myregistry.example.com/cert-manager/cert-manager-acmesolver

webhook:
  image:
    repository: myregistry.example.com/cert-manager/cert-manager-webhook

cainjector:
  image:
    repository: myregistry.example.com/cert-manager/cert-manager-cainjector

startupapicheck:
  image:
    repository: myregistry.example.com/cert-manager/cert-manager-startupapicheck

Note

As of cert-manager v1.15.0, the installCRDs value is deprecated in favor of crds.enabled.

Use Helm to install the software and wait for it to be ready:

helm upgrade cert-manager oci://registry.venafi.cloud/charts/cert-manager \
  --install \
  --wait \
  --create-namespace \
  --namespace venafi \
  --values cert-manager.values.yaml \
  --version v1.15.3

Note

For more information about Helm support for OCI package distribution, see the Helm documentation.

Step 3: Install OpenShift Routes using Helm¶

Create a openshiftroutes.values.yaml file to define any Helm values you require. For example:
```
image:
  repository: private-registry.venafi.cloud/openshift-routes/cert-manager-openshift-routes
imagePullSecrets:
- name: venafi-image-pull-secret
```
For more information on the available Helm values for OpenShift Routes, see OpenShift Routes Helm values.

Type the following command:

helm upgrade openshift-routes oci://registry.venafi.cloud/charts/openshift-routes \
  --install \
  --wait \
  --namespace venafi \
  --version v0.6.1 \
  --values openshiftroutes.values.yaml
