I'm setting up my application on a VPS with HTTPS, and it's currently using the ingress-nginx-controller service configured as a NodePort. Unfortunately, I don't have a LoadBalancer available on my VPS, so NodePort seems to be my only option. However, I'm concerned because it looks like CertManager needs access to port 443, which isn't feasible with NodePort. Can anyone share if it's possible to utilize CertManager while still using NodePort?

Yes, you can definitely use CertManager with a NodePort service! What issues are you running into regarding port 443?
Everything seems to work fine on the surface; my site is up and running, but I have to bypass security warnings to access it, which isn’t ideal. I followed a guide where they used a LoadBalancer, so I'm guessing that's where the problem lies.
