My private git repos are a mess when it comes to secrets. I’ve wanted to implement vault for a while now. It will allow me to start removing the secrets from plain text files in git. Vault allows me to store everything in a central location and in the future even dynamically generate secrets. In this one I’ll go over how I set up Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) to sync Vault secrets to Kubernetes.

Learning kubernetes has always been something I wanted to do. A recent job opportunity brought kubernetes back onto my radar. Hosted kubernetes is expensive, especially if it’s just for learning. In this post I’ll walk through how I setup a 3 node cluster in Proxmox. By no means is this perfect, I created this to learn. As the setup evolves and I learn more about best practices I’ll write new posts.
