So this is not going to work for several reasons. One being that on bare metal you don't have a cloud provider, so there is no load balancer it can talk to. Second - it will setup a hostname and a certificate on the ingress, but there is no way to contact it from outside world. The domain still needs A record pointing at the server and in the cluster that may be a local IP or a set of IPs.

What I have in mind is an external server that is not being a part of the cluster that bears the role of load balancer. It will contact the cluster and look for services and then setup up a reverse proxy based on their declared hostname, then setup certificates and update DNS records at DNS provider.

As far as I know something like this does not exist.

Maybe Traefik has such a capability, but their documentation is so complex I have no idea.
