I'm using the terraform kubernetes-provider and I'd like to translate something like this kubectl
command into TF:
kubectl create secret generic my-secret --from-file mysecret.json
It seems, however the secret
resource's data
field expects only a TF map .
I've tried something like
data "template_file" "my-secret" {
template = "${file("${path.module}/my-secret.json")}"
}
resource "kubernetes_secret" "sgw-config" {
metadata {
name = "my-secret"
}
type = "Opaque"
data = "{data.template_file.my-secret.template}"
}
But it complains that this is not a map. So, I can do something like this:
data = {
"my-secret.json" = "{data.template_file.my-secret.template}"
}
But this will write the secret with a top-level field named my-secret.json
and when I volume mount it, it won't work with other resources.
What is the trick here?
as long the file is UTF-8 encoded you can use something like this
resource "kubernetes_secret" "some-secret" {
metadata {
name = "some-secret"
namespace = kubernetes_namespace.some-ns.metadata.0.name
labels = {
"sensitive" = "true"
"app" = "my-app"
}
}
data = {
"file.txt" = file("${path.cwd}/your/relative/path/to/file.txt")
}
}
If the file is a binary one you will have an error like
Call to function "file" failed: contents of /your/relative/path/to/file.txt are not valid UTF-8; use the filebase64 function to obtain the Base64 encoded contents or the other file functions (eg filemd5, filesha256) to obtain file hashing results instead.
I tried encoding the file in base64 but then the problem is that the resulting text will be re-encoded in base64 by the provider. So I guess there is no solution for binary files at the moment... I'll edit with what I find next for binaries.
Just use https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/kubernetes/r/config_map.html#binary_data
resource "kubernetes_config_map" "example" {
metadata {
name = "my-config"
}
binary_data = {
"my_payload.bin" = "${filebase64("${path.module}/my_payload.bin")}"
}
}
This might be a bit off-topic, but I've been facing similar problem except that the file might not be present in which case the terraform [plan|apply]
fails.
To be exact: I needed to duplicate a secret from one namespace to another one.
I realized that by using hashicorp/external
provider.
The steps are pretty simple:
data
by calling external programdata
in kubernetes_secret
resourceThe program should accept (and process) JSON on STDIN and produce valid JSON on STDOUT as response to the parameters passed-in in the STDIN's JSON.
Example shell script:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
/bin/echo -n '{ "token": "'
kubectl get -n consul secrets/hashicorp-consul-bootstrap-acl-token --template={{.data.token}}
/bin/echo -n '"}'
tarraform source:
data "external" "token" {
program = ["sh", "${path.module}/consul-token.sh"]
}
resource "kubernetes_secret" "consul-token" {
depends_on = [data.external.token]
metadata {
name = "consul-token"
namespace = "app"
}
data = {
token = base64decode(data.external.token.result.token)
}
}
and requirements:
terraform {
required_providers {
external = {
source = "hashicorp/external"
version = ">= 2.0.0"
}
}
}
I believe you can use binary_data attribute in the secret now. eg
binary_data = {
"my_payload.bin" = "${filebase64("${path.module}/my_payload.bin")}"
}

It seems if you run the command kubectl create secret generic my-secret --from-file mysecret.json
and then
$ kubectl get secrets my-secret -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
my-secret.json: ewogICA.....
kind: Secret
metadata:
creationTimestamp: "2019-03-25T18:20:43Z"
name: my-secret
namespace: default
resourceVersion: "67026"
selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets/my-secret
uid: b397a29c-4f2a-11e9-9806-000c290425d0
type: Opaque
it stores it similarly with the filename as the single key. When I mount this in a volume/volumeMount it works as expected. I was afraid that it wouldn't but when I create the secret using the --from-file
argument, this is exactly how it stores it.
Basically you need to provide a map like this :
resource "kubernetes_secret" "sgw-config" {
metadata {
name = "my-secret"
}
type = "Opaque"
data {
"key1" = "value1"
"key2" = "value2"
}
}
you can refer to your internal variables using
resource "kubernetes_secret" "sgw-config" {
metadata {
name = "my-secret"
}
type = "Opaque"
data {
"USERNAME" = "${var.some_variable}"
"PASSWORD" = "${random_string.root_password.result}"
}
}
