having trouble with cert-manager

[hyusetiawan]

I was following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APnXlMiKBWg&list=WL&index=30&t=0s
everything works until the cert thing, the presenter was mentioning that the order of executing matters (apply the certs first THEN ingress) which I did. I keep getting errors though, I pasted below, I tried googling around but I am not familiar enough with kubernetes to navigate the issue.

Please advise :)

I created a guide on Medium following this repo and other information I was able to gather, it is available here.

I hope that helps! 😄
