A web interface for Sealed Secrets by Bitnami.

Sealed Secrets Web is a web interface for Sealed Secrets by Bitnami. The web interface let you encode, decode the keys in the data field of a secret, load existing Sealed Secrets and create Sealed Secrets. Under the hood it uses Sealed Secrets service API to encrypt your secrets. The web interface should be installed to your Kubernetes cluster, so your developers do not need access to your cluster via kubectl.

Encode: Base64 encodes each key in the stringData field in a secret.
Decode: Base64 decodes each key in the data field in a secret.
Secrets: Returns a list of all Sealed Secrets in all namespaces. With a click on the Sealed Secret the decrypted Kubernetes secret is loaded.
Seal: Encrypt a Kubernetes secret and creates the Sealed Secret.
Validate: Validate a Sealed Secret.

Installation

sealed-secrets-web can be installed via our Helm chart:

helm repo add bakito https://charts.bakito.net
helm repo update

helm upgrade --install sealed-secrets-web bakito/sealed-secrets-web

To modify the settings for Sealed Secrets you can modify the arguments for the Docker image with the --set flag. For example you can set a different controller-name during the installation with the following command:

helm upgrade --install sealed-secrets-web bakito/sealed-secrets-web \
  --set sealedSecrets.namespace=sealed-secrets \
  --set sealedSecrets.serviceName=sealed-secrets

or if you want to disable ability to load existing secrets, and use the tool purelly to seal new ones you can use:

helm upgrade --install sealed-secrets-web bakito/sealed-secrets-web \
  --set disableLoadSecrets=true

To render templates locally:

cd chart
helm template . -f values.yaml

You can check helm values available at https://github.com/bakito/sealed-secrets-web/blob/main/chart/values.yaml Also, check available application options at https://github.com/bakito/sealed-secrets-web/blob/main/pkg/config/types.go#L14-L22

sealing one value with default scope

curl -request POST 'https://<SEALED_SECRETS_WEB_BASE_URL>/api/raw' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '{ "name": "mysecretname", "namespace": "mysecretnamespace", "value": "value to seal" }'

Validate sealed secret

NOTE: Validate is only available when using cluster internal api (e.g. certURL not set) see bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets

curl --request POST 'https://<SEALED_SECRETS_WEB_BASE_URL>/api/validate' \
  --header 'Accept: application/x-yaml' \
  --data-binary '@stringData.yaml'

Development

For development, we are using a local Kubernetes cluster using kind. When the cluster is created we install Sealed Secrets using Helm:

./run_local.sh

Access the interface via http://localhost/ssw
