# Sealed Secrets
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add the normal helm release for sealed secrets. Place into its own namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Adding an Existing Certificate
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Extracting certs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Store secrets in a json format, something of the form,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"tls.crt": "ABC123...",
|
||
|
|
"tls.key": "XYZ987..."
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both values will be base64 encoded. Something to this effect will get what you want.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
pass my-secret-key | jq -r '.[tls.crt]' | base64 -d | base64 -d | tee pub-cert.pem
|
||
|
|
pass my-secret-key | jq -r '.[tls.key]' | base64 -d | base64 -d | tee private-key.pem
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will know it worked if the outputted keys from `tee` contain the normal headers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Apply cert into cluster
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To apply the cert into the cluster, just make the secret
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
kubectl create secret tls sealed-secrets-key \
|
||
|
|
--cert=pub-cert.pem \
|
||
|
|
--key=private-key.pem \
|
||
|
|
--namespace=sealed-secrets
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After that just restart the sealed-secrets pod to make sure it takes up the changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
kubectl rollout restart deployment sealed-secrets -n sealed-secrets
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check the logs of the sealed-secrets pod after restart, and you should
|
||
|
|
see `sealed-secrets-key` registered as a private key in the logs. And thats it!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Explanation of Certificate Rotation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So by default sealed secrets is going to make a tls cert in the `sealed-secrets`
|
||
|
|
namespace. Its gonna be something like `sealed-secrets-key<nonce>`. It will generate
|
||
|
|
one every 30 days (configurable value).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*All secrets* are valid for decrypting secrets in the git repo. If you want it to decrypt
|
||
|
|
older stuff, add the older cert as outlined above.
