Helmsman Secrets

Define the secret in your chart with a substitution value.

secrets.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: dockerhub-secret
type: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
data:
  .dockerconfigjson: >-
    {{ .Values.dockerconfigjson }}

Define the property with no value. Note also the reference to the secret for pull from the private registry.

values.yaml

replicaCount: 1

image:
  repository: docker.io/cdaf/cdaf
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  # Overrides the image tag whose default is the chart appVersion.
  tag: "464"

imagePullSecrets: [{ name: dockerhub-secret }]
dockerconfigjson: ""

Define the environment variable to be substituted into the chart

ranger.yaml

metadata:
  scope: "cluster ranger"
  maintainer: "Jules Clements"

namespaces:
  name_space:
    protected: false

apps:
  cdaf-ui:
    name: "cdaf-ui"
    description: "cdaf-ui"
    namespace: "name_space"
    enabled: true
    chart: "cdaf-ui"
    version: "0.1.2"
    set:
      dockerconfigjson: "$DOCKER_CONFIG_JSON"

No change required for the helmsman command line as the change above will trigger Helmsman to try and use the environemnt variable.
