Kube Secreto 🤐

Manage your Kubernetes Secrets🔒 with one simple API made just for secrets. With Kube Secreto you'll be able to:

• Create a Generic Secret
• List Secrets by NameSpace
• View Secret Payload
• Delete Secrets

For more information checkout the api documentation as well as the development guide.

Note: This microservice has been made with learning in mind. Please see the following blogs to learn more about building applications with Kubernetes client-go.

• Build, Test, and Automate a Kubernetes Interfacing Application in Go
• Adding a Minimalistic ReactJS UI to your Kubernetes Application

The documentation includes reasons on why I designed the application this way. I was inspired by Shubham Chadokar's blog on Build a Todo App in Golang, MongoDB, and React and just for fun the label used for the secret data (shhh) was inspired by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Gang Gets Shushed

Deployment and Usage

You can deploy this application in different ways. There's out-of-cluster for running the application on your local machine, as well as in-cluster which allows you to deploy and access the application from Kubernetes.

Requirements

• Kubernetes Cluster: You can create a local cluster using minikube or use one of the several public offerings.
• Go: You must have GoLang installed in order to run this locally.

Out-of-Cluster

In order to use this application locally, you must pass the -local flag. This allows us to use our local KUBECONFIG for connecting to the cluster.

$ make build

# Launch the Secreto Server
$ ./secreto-server -local

In order to change the port, set the SECRETO_PORT environment variable to the desired port.

In-Cluster

This application can be hosted within a cluster and accessed from anywhere with the correct configuration. In order to do this, you can use the helm chart I created here.

Disclaimer: This should not be run in production since secret data is exposed. In a production app, a login would be required.
