flux create secret git

flux create secret git

Create or update a Kubernetes secret for Git authentication

Synopsis

The create secret git command generates a Kubernetes secret with Git credentials. For Git over SSH, the host and SSH keys are automatically generated and stored in the secret. For Git over HTTP/S, the provided basic authentication credentials or bearer authentication token are stored in the secret.

Examples

  # Create a Git SSH authentication secret using an ECDSA P-521 curve public key

  flux create secret git podinfo-auth \
    --url=ssh://git@github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --ssh-key-algorithm=ecdsa \
    --ssh-ecdsa-curve=p521

  # Create a Git SSH authentication secret with a passwordless private key from file
  # The public SSH host key will still be gathered from the host
  flux create secret git podinfo-auth \
    --url=ssh://git@github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --private-key-file=./private.key

  # Create a Git SSH authentication secret with a passworded private key from file
  # The public SSH host key will still be gathered from the host
  flux create secret git podinfo-auth \
    --url=ssh://git@github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --private-key-file=./private.key \
    --password=<password>

  # Create a secret for a Git repository using basic authentication
  flux create secret git podinfo-auth \
    --url=https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --username=username \
    --password=password

  # Create a Git SSH secret on disk
  flux create secret git podinfo-auth \
    --url=ssh://git@github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --export > podinfo-auth.yaml

  # Print the deploy key
  yq eval '.stringData."identity.pub"' podinfo-auth.yaml

  # Encrypt the secret on disk with Mozilla SOPS
  sops --encrypt --encrypted-regex '^(data|stringData)$' \
    --in-place podinfo-auth.yaml
