trust-manager is an operator for distributing bundles in Kubernetes clusters

Sources are loaded by being defined in Bundle resources, and are concatenated
into an output bundle 'target', which can then be made available to all
services across a cluster.

Usage:
  trust-manager [flags]

App flags:

      --leader-elect                              If true, trust-manager will perform leader election between instances to ensure no more than one instance of trust-manager operates at a time (default true)
      --leader-election-lease-duration duration   Lease duration for leader election (default 15s)
      --leader-election-renew-deadline duration   Lease renew deadline for leader election. (default 10s)
      --metrics-port int                          Port to expose Prometheus metrics on 0.0.0.0 on path '/metrics'. (default 9402)
      --readiness-probe-path string               HTTP path to expose the readiness probe server. (default "/readyz")
      --readiness-probe-port int                  Port to expose the readiness probe. (default 6060)

Bundle flags:

      --default-package-location string   Path to a JSON file containing the default certificate package. If set, must be a valid package.
      --filter-expired-certificates       Filter expired certificates from the bundle.
      --filter-non-ca-certs               Filter non-CA certificates, only CAs are used in the resulting Bundle

      --target-namespaces strings         Comma-separated list of namespaces to limit both the manager and target caches.

Logging flags:

      --log-format string   Log format (text or json) (default "text")
  -v, --log-level int       Log level (1-5). (default 1)

Webhook flags:

      --webhook-certificate-dir string   Directory where the Webhook certificate and private key are located. Certificate and private key must be named 'tls.crt' and 'tls.key' respectively. (default "/tls")
      --webhook-host string              Host to serve webhook. (default "0.0.0.0")

TLSConfig flags:

      --tls-cipher-suites strings          Comma-separated list of cipher suites for the webhook server. If omitted, the default Go cipher suites will be used. Only affects TLS 1.2; TLS 1.3 cipher suites are not configurable in Go.
                                           Preferred values: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.

      --tls-curve-preferences int32Slice   Comma-separated list of numeric Go crypto/tls CurveID values, as the allowed key exchange mechanisms for the webhook server. Applies to TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. The supported values depend on the Go version used. See https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#CurveID for values supported for each Go version. The order of the list is ignored, and key exchange mechanisms are chosen by Go from this list using an internal preference order. If omitted, the default Go curves will be used. (default [])
      --tls-min-version string             Minimum TLS version supported. If omitted, the default Go minimum version will be used. Possible values: VersionTLS10,VersionTLS11,VersionTLS12,VersionTLS13
