# SSL/TLS Management
Manage certificates and secure communications across web servers, Kubernetes clusters, and internal services.
Prerequisites
- Domain name with DNS control for public certificates
- Root/sudo access on web servers
- `certbot` installed for Let's Encrypt
- `openssl` CLI available (installed by default on most Linux distros)
- Kubernetes cluster with Helm for cert-manager deployment
- Understanding of X.509 certificate chain of trust
Let's Encrypt with Certbot
Installation and Certificate Issuance
# Install certbot (Ubuntu/Debian)
apt update && apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# Obtain certificate for nginx (interactive)
certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com
# Non-interactive mode for automation
certbot certonly --nginx \
-d example.com \
-d www.example.com \
--non-interactive \
--agree-tos \
--email admin@example.com
# Standalone mode (when no web server is running)
certbot certonly --standalone \
-d example.com \
--preferred-challenges http
# DNS challenge (for wildcard certs)
certbot certonly --manual \
--preferred-challenges dns \
-d "*.example.com" \
-d example.com
# Using DNS plugin for automation (Cloudflare example)
