Installation

There are two ways to run the Stackable Secret Operator:

  1. Helm managed Docker container deployment on Kubernetes

  2. Build from source

Prerequisites

You will need:

  • a Kubernetes cluster

  • kubectl

  • Helm

Resource sizing depends on cluster type(s), usage and scope, but as a starting point we recommend a minimum of the following resources for this operator:

  • 0.2 cores (e.g. i5 or similar)

  • 256MB RAM

Helm

Helm allows you to download and deploy Stackable operators on Kubernetes and is by far the easiest installation method. First ensure that you have installed the Stackable Operators Helm repository:

$ helm repo add stackable https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-stable/

Then install the Stackable Secret Operator

$ helm install secret-operator stackable/secret-operator

Helm will deploy the operator in Kubernetes containers and apply the CRDs. You’re now ready to deploy secrets!

Building the operator from source
