Sealed Secrets Web is a web interface for Sealed Secrets by Bitnami. The web interface let you encode, decode the keys in the data
field of a secret, load existing Sealed Secrets and create Sealed Secrets. Under the hood it uses the kubeseal command-line tool to encrypt your secrets. The web interface should be installed to your Kubernetes cluster, so your developers do not need access to your cluster via kubectl.
- Encode: Base64 encodes each key in the
stringData
field in a secret. - Decode: Base64 decodes each key in the
data
field in a secret. - Secrets: Returns a list of all Sealed Secrets in all namespaces. With a click on the Sealed Secret the decrypted Kubernetes secret is loaded.
- Seal: Encrypt a Kubernetes secret and creates the Sealed Secret.
sealed-secrets-web can be installed via our Helm chart:
helm repo add bakito https://charts.bakito.net
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install sealed-secrets-web bakito/sealed-secrets-web
To modify the settings for Sealed Secrets you can modify the arguments for the Docker image with the --set
flag. For example you can set a different controller-name
during the installation with the following command:
helm upgrade --install sealed-secrets-web bakito/sealed-secrets-web \
--set sealedSecrets.namespace=sealed-secrets \
--set sealedSecrets.serviceName=sealed-secrets
or if you want to disable ability to load existing secrets, and use the tool purelly to seal new ones you can use:
helm upgrade --install sealed-secrets-web bakito/sealed-secrets-web \
--set disableLoadSecrets=true

For development, we are using a local Kubernetes cluster using kind. When the cluster is created we install Sealed Secrets using Helm:
# install registry
docker run -d --restart=always -p "127.0.0.1:5001:5000" --name kind-registry registry:2
# startup kind
kind create cluster --config=testdata/e2e/kind/config.yaml
# setup registry
docker network connect kind kind-registry
kubectl apply -f testdata/e2e/kind/configmap-registry.yaml
# setup ingress
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/main/deploy/static/provider/kind/deploy.yaml
kubectl wait --namespace ingress-nginx \
--for=condition=ready pod \
--selector=app.kubernetes.io/component=controller \
--timeout=90s
# build image
./testdata/e2e/buildImage.sh
# install sealed secrets
helm repo add sealed-secrets https://bitnami-labs.github.io/sealed-secrets
helm install sealed-secrets sealed-secrets/sealed-secrets \
--namespace sealed-secrets \
--create-namespace \
--atomic
install sealed secrets web
./testdata/e2e/installSealedSecretsWebChart.sh yaml
