Project Secrets

Project Secrets can be created to make sure Kubernetes Secrets are automatically created on all the Kubernetes clusters associated with the Project, in the corresponding namespace.

Configure Project Secrets - UI Method

1. Select the workspace your project was created in from the workspace selection dropdown in the header.

2. In the sidebar menu, select Projects.

3. Select the project you want to configure from the table.

4. Select the Secrets tab, and then select the Create Secret button.

5. Complete the form and select the Create button.

Configure Project Secrets - CLI Method

A Project Secret is simply a Kubernetes FederatedConfigSecret and can also be created using kubectl:

cat << EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: types.kubefed.io/v1beta1
kind: FederatedSecret
metadata:
  generateName: secret1-
  namespace: ${projectns}
spec:
  placement:
    clusterSelector: {}
  template:
    data:
      key: dmFsdWU=
EOF

Ensure the projectns variable is set before executing the command.

projectns=$(kubectl -n ${workspacens} get projects.workspaces.kommander.mesosphere.io -o jsonpath='{.items[?(@.metadata.generateName=="project1-")].status.namespaceRef.name}')

NOTE: The value of the key is base64 encoded.

If you run the following command on a Kubernetes cluster associated with the Project, you see a Kubernetes Secret Object, in the corresponding namespace:

kubectl -n ${projectns} get secret secret1-r9vk2 -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
  key: dmFsdWU=
kind: Secret
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-06-04T16:51:59Z"
  labels:
    kubefed.io/managed: "true"
  name: secret1-r9vk2
  namespace: project1-5ljs9-lhvjl
  resourceVersion: "137215"
  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/project1-5ljs9-lhvjl/secrets/secret1-r9vk2
  uid: e5c6fc1d-93e7-47fe-ae1e-f418f8e35d72
