SYNOPSIS

12       oc create secret generic [OPTIONS]
13

15

DESCRIPTION

17       Create a secret based on a file, directory, or specified literal value.
18
19
20       A single secret may package one or more key/value pairs.
21
22
23       When creating a secret based on a file, the key  will  default  to  the
24       basename  of  the file, and the value will default to the file content.
25       If the basename is an invalid key or you wish to chose  your  own,  you
26       may specify an alternate key.
27
28
29       When  creating  a secret based on a directory, each file whose basename
30       is a valid key in the directory will be packaged into the  secret.  Any
31       directory  entries  except  regular files are ignored (e.g. subdirecto‐
32       ries, symlinks, devices, pipes, etc).

OPTIONS

37       --allow-missing-template-keys=true
38           If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key  is
39       missing  in  the  template.  Only applies to golang and jsonpath output
40       formats.
41
42
43       --append-hash=false
44           Append a hash of the secret to its name.
45
46
47       --dry-run=false
48           If true, only print the object that would be sent, without  sending
49       it.
50
51
52       --from-env-file=""
53           Specify the path to a file to read lines of key=val pairs to create
54       a secret (i.e. a Docker .env file).
55
56
57       --from-file=[]
58           Key files can be specified using their file path, in which  case  a
59       default  name will be given to them, or optionally with a name and file
60       path, in which case the given name will be used.  Specifying  a  direc‐
61       tory  will  iterate  each  named  file in the directory that is a valid
62       secret key.
63
64
65       --from-literal=[]
66           Specify  a  key  and  literal  value  to  insert  in  secret  (i.e.
67       mykey=somevalue)

77
78
79       --save-config=false
80           If true, the configuration of current object will be saved  in  its
81       annotation.  Otherwise,  the annotation will be unchanged. This flag is
82       useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on  this  object  in  the
83       future.
84
85
86       --template=""
87           Template  string  or  path  to template file to use when -o=go-tem‐
88       plate, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang  templates  [
