# Seal a secret
How to seal a secret with [Sealed Secrets](./sealed-secrets.md).
## Create generic secret
First just create the normal secret. Follow something of this format
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: postgresql-default-credentials
namespace: postgresql
type: Opaque
data:
password: ""
postgres-password: ""
username: ""
```
## Seal the secret
Make sure you have kubseal installed. This is working with kubseal `0.23.0`.
```bash
kubeseal --controller-namespace sealed-secret \
--controller-name sealed-secrets \
--format yaml < secret.yaml > sealed-secret.yaml
```
## ERROR cannot get sealed secret service
The `controller-name` and `controller-namespace` paramaters are misleading, they are
the name and namespace of the sealed-secrets service. Check the service with,
```bash
kubectl get services -n sealed-secrets
```
