Plugin Configuration

Storage

Kubernetes.storage plugin enables Porter to store data, such as claims, parameters and credentials, in a Kubernetes cluster.The plugin stores data in Kubernetes as secrets.

1. Open, or create, ~/.porter/config.toml.

2. Add the following lines:

   default-storage = "kubernetes-storage"
   
   [[storage]]
   name = "kubernetes-storage"
   plugin = "kubernetes.storage" 
   

3. If the plugin is being used outside of a Kubernetes cluster then add the following lines to specify the namespace to be used to store data:

   [storage.config]
   namespace = "<namespace name>"
   

Secrets

Kubernetes.secrets plugin enables resolution of credential or parameter values as secrets in Kubernetes.

1. Open, or create, ~/.porter/config.toml

2. Add the following lines:

   default-secrets = "kubernetes-secrets"
   
   [[secrets]]
   name = "kubernetes-secrets"
   plugin = "kubernetes.secret"
   

3. If the plugin is being used outside of a Kubernetes cluster then add the following lines to specify the namespace to be used to store data:

   [secrets.config]
   namespace = "<namespace name>"
   

Storage and Secrets combined

When both storage and secrets are configured, be sure to place the default-* stanzas at the top of the file, like so:

default-secrets = "kubernetes-secrets"
default-storage = "kubernetes-storage"

[[secrets]]
name = "kubernetes-secrets"
plugin = "kubernetes.secret"

[[storage]]
name = "kubernetes-storage"
plugin = "kubernetes.storage"

If runing outside of Kubernetes then also include the namespace configuration

[secrets.config]
namespace = "<namespace name>"

[storage.config]
namespace = "<namespace name>"
