Please stand by @swift-spring-8620 as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 20 seconds or so. :wave:
---------------------- In Garden, you can pass secrets to a Helm chart as environment variables. This is done by referencing secrets in the
env
field of your configuration. Here's an example:
Copy code
yaml
kind: Deploy
type: helm
name: helm-deploy
...
spec:
  env:
    MY_SECRET_VAR:
      secretRef:
        name: my-secret
        key: some-key-in-secret
In this example,
MY_SECRET_VAR
is the name of the environment variable that will be created in the Helm chart. The
secretRef
field is used to specify the name and key of the secret that you want to reference. The
name
field should be the name of the Secret resource in your Kubernetes cluster, and the
key
field should be the key in that Secret that contains the value you want to use. Please note that you must create the Secret manually for the Pod to be able to reference it. For Kubernetes, this is commonly done using
kubectl
. For example, to create a basic generic secret you could use:
Copy code
bash
kubectl --namespace <my-app-namespace> create secret generic --from-literal=some-key-in-secret=foo
Where
<my-app-namespace>
is your project namespace (which is either set with
namespace
in your provider config, or defaults to your project name). For more details, please refer to the official Kubernetes Secrets docs () and the Garden documentation (). ----------------------
