Creating a test secret

In this section, you can learn how to create a test secret in Deckhouse Stronghold, verify its contents, and change its value if needed.

This example uses:

• kv secrets engine
• secret/my-first-secret test path
• username and password test keys

If your installation uses a different mount path, replace secret with the path provided by the administrator.

To create a test secret, follow these steps:

1. Create a secret by writing test values to the selected path:

   d8 stronghold kv put secret/my-first-secret username=demo password=secret123

2. Verify the saved values:

   d8 stronghold kv get secret/my-first-secret

   Example output:

   ====== Data ======
   Key         Value
   ---         -----
   password    secret123
   username    demo

3. Edit the secret value by rewriting it to the same path:

   d8 stronghold kv put secret/my-first-secret username=demo password=new-secret

4. Make sure the value has been updated:

   d8 stronghold kv get secret/my-first-secret
