I have a json file with some keys like this:
{
"a":"someval"
"b":"someval"
.. more keys
}
How do I add these keys to a secret in kubernetes?
When I try $ kubectl create secret generic mysecret --from-file=file.json it returns a secret containing the file, but I want to map the contents of the file to the secret, not add the file as a secret.
Output:
$ kubectl get secret -n staging personalbillett-auth0-login-credentials -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
file.json: #base64 encoded stuff here.
kind: SecretWanted output:
$ kubectl get secret mysecret -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
a: someval
b: someval
kind: SecretWhat am I doing wrong?
If you have flat (not nested) JSON then try this (assuming you have jq tool installed):
kubectl create secret generic test --from-env-file <(jq -r "to_entries|map(\"\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)\")|.[]" YOUR_FILE.json)Try these steps
kubectl proxy --port 8000 &
curl localhost:8000/api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets
curl localhost:8000/api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets \
-X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"metadata":{"name":"mytest"},"stringData":{"a":"test","b":"test","c":"test"}}'
master $ curl localhost:8000/api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets/mytest{
"kind": "Secret",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "mytest",
"namespace": "default",
"selfLink": "/api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets/mytest",
"uid": "55736602-725e-11e9-b3a2-0242ac110034",
"resourceVersion": "2948",
"creationTimestamp": "2019-05-09T13:28:29Z"
},
"data": {
"a": "dGVzdA==",
"b": "dGVzdA==",
"c": "dGVzdA=="
},
"type": "Opaque"
}
create a json file like this:
{
"metadata": {
"annotations": {},
"name": "mytest",
"namespace": "default"
},
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "Secret",
"data": {
"a": "dGVzdA==",
"b": "dGVzdA=="
}
}
Then pipe it into kubectl create:
echo secrets-file.json | kubectl create -f -
