Rancher: invalid admin ssl

Not long ago, overnight, I lost access to my Rancher admin interface. My SSL certificate has become invalid.

That's right, and this article is still valid. Unfortunately, what I had not thought of is that a rancher installation with let's encrypt does not configure our load balancer administration interface's automatic renewal 😶.

If this happens, you will have to switch on the command line, follow this article again, and request a new certificate. To avoid this :

• Go in rancher > local > system > Load Balancing
• click on three dots options of your Load Balancer and select View/Edit YAML
• Add :

cert-manager.io/issuer: letsencrypt-prod

It's enough 👌. Hoping to have avoided the mishap for some, I add this after the main tutorial.

Good week 🖖.
