I am behind the company's ssl terminating/traffic inspecting appliance and I'm used to having to tweak different systems to set the custom certificates.

The question is - how to do it for knative?. I followed this, but it made no difference.

Any help?

P.S. Incidentally, the documentation shows creating a secret named customca, yet it is referred in the controller's yaml as custom-certs.

@ysiivan I've found a solution for myself to this issue. You need to tell your buildpacks where your ca-certificates.crt is. You can do this by setting the buildEnvs in your func.yaml file. Set SSL_CERT_DIR to wherever it is you keep your certificates. If you have the SSL_CERT_DIR env set in your environment already, you can use the below mustache syntax to inject it.

runtime: python
registry: registry.local:5000
created: 2024-08-20T00:47:41.658874026+10:00
build:
  builder: pack
  buildEnvs:
  - name: SSL_CERT_DIR
    value: {{ env:SSL_CERT_DIR }}

If this still isn't working for you, you can always place your ca-certificates.crt in your function's working directory and replace {{ env:SSL_CERT_DIR }} with /workspace
