'JKS creation with every certificate renewal through cert-manager using Let's encrypt as CA
We have a reporting application which needs JKS file to be created from public certificate and private key associated with the certificate.
For our K8S deployment through Jenkins, we create this application and during this application deployment - pods, svc, ing, certificate also gets created and once our deployment is successful we call another script to use the certificate and private key, create a JKS and copy it to the pod in some location where application can pick it up. This works well but how do we automate this JKS creation and copy it to the pod with every let's encrypt certificate renewal since the certificate is renewed for every 90 days.

Posting an answer from comments.
After some comments, main question was narrowed down to:
"How to renew certificate manually using CertManager?"
Answer itself:
There's a CLI tool for CertManager which is called cmctl.
And it supports manual renewal of certificates by issuing following command:
cmctl renew $CERT_NAME
