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:

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

Use only test values in this example. Do not store real passwords, tokens, or keys in test secrets.

To create a test secret, follow these steps:

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

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

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

Verify the saved values:

d8 stronghold kv get secret/my-first-secret

stronghold kv get secret/my-first-secret

Example output:

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

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

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

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

Make sure the value has been updated:

d8 stronghold kv get secret/my-first-secret

stronghold kv get secret/my-first-secret

After verification, replace the test path and values with the parameters used in your project.
