Preview: https://deploy-preview-1338--cert-manager-website.netlify.app/docs/installation/helm/#install-the-helm-chart-using-flux

I wanted to see for myself whether cert-manager can be installed using Flux and it seems to be quite straight forward,
so I documented it here.

I used some of the settings -- such as --crds CreateReplace -- that @slam-wowx had used in: cert-manager/cert-manager#6409.

## Install the Helm chart using Flux

Shouldn't we add a separate Flux section?

When I go to cert-manager.io, I probably would look for a Flux section if that is the tool I'm using.

What precisely do you propose?

I did consider adding a flux.md page, but decided that we'd end up with too many submenu items if we also add argo.md, anthos.md, octopus.md etc.

I also considered that Flux can install cert-manager in other ways too, so it seems appropriate to document the Flux Helm Controller here and in future document the Flex Kustomize controller in the kubectl applyt page.

I looked for examples from other projects and I found that Kyverno have a https://kyverno.io/docs/installation/platform-notes/ page where they include notes for ArgoCD users.
Couldn't find any other examples of projects that have a specific page for installing using flux or argo.

I have tried creating a "Continuous Deployment" page and move this tutorial there.
See what you think.

What do you think about the name "GitOps"?

I don't think it's appropriate.

GitOps is about storing your infrastructure configuration in a Git repo and then using a continuous delivery / continuous deployment like Flux tool to apply it.
So this page is about the CD part.

Why do you suggest it?

Also GitOps is the brand name Red Hat uses on their ArgoCD hybrid, so I would stay FAR away from that term. 😉

I just ran through the flux installation and it worked perfectly. Thanks @wallrj - a good little intro to fluxcd for me.

Just a question for anyone who knows, did fluxctl become flux instead at some point? That tripped me up as I thought I had the CLI but turns out I did not.

I think fluxctl was the CLI tool for the deprecated Flux v1 - which became flux in the current Flux v2.
