<p>I'm trying to get Let's Encrypt working on a K3s cluster of mine. I've been following the below tutorial but since it's more than a year old I'm using a later version of <code>cert-manager</code>.</p>
<p><a href="https://pascalw.me/blog/2019/07/02/k3s-https-letsencrypt.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pascalw.me/blog/2019/07/02/k3s-https-letsencrypt.html</a></p>
<p>I'm executing the following commands</p>
<pre><code>kubectl apply --validate=false -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.0.1/cert-manager.crds.yaml
helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
kubectl create namespace cert-manager
helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --namespace cert-manager

echo &quot;apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-staging
spec:
  acme:
    email: my-email@gmail.com
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: staging-issuer-account-key
    server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    http01: {}
    solvers:
      - http01:
          ingress:
            class: traefik
        selector: {}
&quot; | kubectl apply --validate=false -f -
</code></pre>
<p>My generated ingress resource looks as the following</p>

</code></pre>
<p>But the endpoint returns 404 and the logs from traefik contains multiple entries like the following</p>
<pre><code>{&quot;level&quot;:&quot;error&quot;,&quot;msg&quot;:&quot;Error configuring TLS for ingress whoami-mn-dev/whoami-mn: secret whoami-mn-dev/whoami-mn-tls does not exist&quot;,&quot;time&quot;:&quot;2020-09-13T14:44:10Z&quot;}
</code></pre>
<p>Any clue about what I'm doing wrong? Also please let me know if I should post anything else</p>

<p>The key to get this working was annotating my ingress resource correctly.</p>
<pre><code>cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-staging
</code></pre>
<p>And NOT the following</p>
<pre><code>certmanager.k8s.io/issuer: letsencrypt-staging
</code></pre>
<p>Version 1.0.1 of cert-manager was used.</p>
