Getting Started Examples

Basic Password Generation

Generate simple passwords for applications:

spec:
  template: |
    password: {{ .pass.password }}
  generators:
    - name: pass
      type: random_password
      config:
        length: 32

TLS Certificates

Create self-signed certificates for development:

spec:
  secretType: kubernetes.io/tls
  template: |
    tls.crt: {{ .cert.certificate }}
    tls.key: {{ .key.private_key_pem }}

Cloud Provider Examples

AWS Secrets Manager

Store secrets in AWS with encryption:

spec:
  media:
    type: aws-secrets-manager
    config:
      region: us-west-2
      kms_key_id: alias/secrets-key

Common Patterns

Database Credentials

spec:
  template: |
    username: admin
    password: {{ .pass.password }}
    host: db.example.com
  generators:
    - name: pass
      type: random_password
      config:
        length: 24
        includeSymbols: false

API Keys

spec:
  template: |
    api_key: {{ .key.value }}
    client_id: {{ .id.uuid }}
  generators:
    - name: key
      type: random_string
      config:
        length: 64
        charset: base64
    - name: id
      type: random_uuid

JWT Signing Keys

spec:
  template: |
    private_key: {{ .key.private_key_pem }}
    public_key: {{ .key.public_key_pem }}
  generators:
    - name: key
      type: crypto_rsa_key
      config:
        keySize: 2048
