Existing Secrets

If you don't want to pass values through helm for...

• Redis
• PostgreSQL
• Nautobot Secret Key
• Superuser password and API token

...there's the option of creating these secrets manually and referencing them in the configuration.

Managed PostgreSQL and Redis deployments

For example, if you want to deploy PostgreSQL and Redis with this chart:

1. Create a secret with both PostgreSQL and Redis passwords:

   kubectl create secret generic my-secret \
     --from-literal=NAUTOBOT_DB_PASSWORD=change-me \
     --from-literal=password=change-me \
     --from-literal=NAUTOBOT_REDIS_PASSWORD=change-me
   

2. Use the following values to install the helm chart:

   postgresql:
     auth:
       username: "nautobotuser"
       existingSecret: "my-secret"
       secretKeys:
         adminPasswordKey: "NAUTOBOT_DB_PASSWORD"
         userPasswordKey: "password"
   redis:
     auth:
       existingSecret: "my-secret"
       existingSecretPasswordKey: "NAUTOBOT_REDIS_PASSWORD"
   

External PostgreSQL and Redis deployments

If you are using external PostgreSQL and Redis servers you can use the following values:

1. Create a secret with PostgreSQL and Redis credentials:

   kubectl create secret generic credentials \
     --from-literal=dbusername=nautobotuser \
     --from-literal=dbpassword=change-me \
     --from-literal=redispassword=change-me
   

2. Use the following values to install the helm chart:

   nautobot:
     db:
       existingSecret: "credentials"
       existingSecretUsernameKey: "dbusername"
       existingSecretPasswordKey: "dbpassword"
     redis:
       existingSecret: "credentials"
       existingSecretPasswordKey: "redispassword"
   postgresql:
     enabled: false
   redis:
     enabled: false
   

Existing secret key

To reference an existing NAUTOBOT_SECRET_KEY you can use the following values:

1. Create a secret with the secret key:

   kubectl create secret generic existing-secretkey \
     --from-literal=secretkey=change-me
   

2. Use the following values to install the helm chart:

   nautobot:
     django:
       existingSecret: "existing-secretkey"
       existingSecretSecretKeyKey: "secretkey"
   

Existing Superuser Credentials

And/or for the superuser credentials you can use this configuration:

1. Create a secret with the super user credentials:

   kubectl create secret generic superuser \
     --from-literal=password=change-me \
     --from-literal=apitoken=change-me
   

2. Use the following values to install the helm chart:

   nautobot:
     superUser:
       existingSecret: "superuser"
       existingSecretPasswordKey: "password"
       existingSecretApiTokenKey: "apitoken"
