b64secrets

An extremely simple globbing util to transform k8s Secret definition file values to base64 encoded secrets ready for upload via kubectl.

I love Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It drove me nuts that k8s secret values in secret files had to have values in base64 encoding.

This little utility globs recursively with the pattern ./**/*.yml writing the encoded secrets to ./**/*.base64.yml ready for uploading to a k8s cluster via applicable kubectl commands.

Usage

in a given directory containing *.yml files, simply run:

$ b64secrets
