Creating a Kubernetes Secret from an Env File

2021-10-11 18:25 (3 years ago) ytyng

When saving secret information locally in a file named .env and registering it with Kubernetes:

Execute the following script in the development environment during deployment.

# Set kubeconfig
export
KUBECONFIG=${HOME}/.kube/my-kube-config

# If a secret already exists, delete it (for the next registration)
kubectl -n mynamespace delete secret myapp-env
# Register the local ../.env as a secret
kubectl -n mynamespace create secret generic myapp-env --from-env-file=../.env
