## The problem
My use case is to deploy a wildcard certificate that was previously handled by an acme.sh on a legacy lxd containers. Since moving to kubernetes parts of my services I have been using cert-manager to issue letsencrypt certificates for the cluster's ingresses. Since I am not done migrating everything yet I need a way of getting a certificate out of kubernetes.
## The solution
Assuming we are working with a secret named `wild.adyxax.org-cert` and our namespace is named `legacy` :
2020-11-29 15:05:44 +01:00
{{< highlight sh >}}
kubectl -n legacy get secret wild.adyxax.org-cert -o json -o=jsonpath="{.data.tls\.crt}" | base64 -d > fullchain.cer
kubectl -n legacy get secret wild.adyxax.org-cert -o json -o=jsonpath="{.data.tls\.key}" | base64 -d > adyxax.org.key
