# Introduction

IonoscloudCertificateManager - the Ruby gem for the Certificate Manager API

Using the Certificate Manager Service, you can conveniently provision and manage SSL certificates with IONOS services and your internal connected resources. For the [Application Load Balancer](https://api.ionos.com/docs/cloud/v6/#Application-Load-Balancers-get-datacenters-datacenterId-applicationloadbalancers), you usually need a certificate to encrypt your HTTPS traffic. The service provides the basic functions of uploading and deleting your certificates for this purpose.

This SDK is automatically generated by the [OpenAPI Generator](https://openapi-generator.tech) project:

* API version: 0.1.0
* Package version: 1.0.0
* Build package: org.openapitools.codegen.languages.RubyClientCodegen

## Installation

### Build a gem

To build the Ruby code into a gem:

```shell
gem build ionoscloud-cert-manager.gemspec
```

Then either install the gem locally:

```shell
gem install ./ionoscloud-cert-manager-1.0.0.gem
```

(for development, run `gem install --dev ./ionoscloud-cert-manager-1.0.0.gem` to install the development dependencies)

or publish the gem to a gem hosting service, e.g. [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/).

Finally add this to the Gemfile:

```
gem 'ionoscloud-cert-manager', '~> 1.0.0'
```

### Install from Git

If the Ruby gem is hosted at a git repository: <https://github.com/ionos-cloud/sdk-ruby-cert-manager>, then add the following in the Gemfile:

```
gem 'ionoscloud-cert-manager', :git => 'https://github.com/ionos-cloud/sdk-ruby-cert-manager.git'
```

### Include the Ruby code directly

Include the Ruby code directly using `-I` as follows:

```shell
ruby -Ilib script.rb
```
