+### Using without cert-manager
+
+Assuming you are installing in the default namespace, ensure your certificate has SANs:
+
+* `webhook-service.actions-runner-system.svc`
+* `webhook-service.actions-runner-system.svc.cluster.local`
+
+It is possible to use a self-signed certificate by following a guide like
+[this one](https://mariadb.com/docs/security/encryption/in-transit/create-self-signed-certificates-keys-openssl/)
+using `openssl`.
+
+Install your certificate as a TLS secret:
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl create secret tls webhook-server-cert \
+  -n actions-runner-system \
+  --cert=path/to/cert/file \
+  --key=path/to/key/file
+```
+
+Set the Helm chart values as follows:
+
+```shell
+$ CA_BUNDLE=$(cat path/to/ca.pem | base64)
+$ helm --upgrade install actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller \
+  certManagerEnabled=false \
+  admissionWebHooks.caBundle=${CA_BUNDLE}
+```
