This guide outlines how to create Kubernetes secrets for the various services required in your environment. Replace <namespace> and <REDACTED> with the appropriate namespace and sensitive values.

Database Secrets

MySQL (CMS):

kubectl create secret generic scopear-cms-mysql \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=password=<REDACTED>

 

MongoDB (C2):

kubectl create secret generic scopear-c2-mongodb \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=mongodb_password=<REDACTED>

SMTP Secrets

CMS SMTP:

kubectl create secret generic scopear-cms-smtp \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=password=<REDACTED>

Object Storage Secrets

MinIO (if using MinIO for object storage):

kubectl create secret generic scopear-minio \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=MINIO_ROOT_USER=<REDACTED> \   --from-literal=MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<REDACTED>

AWS S3 Access Keys (if using AWS S3 w/o IAM Authentication):

For CMS Storage:

kubectl create secret generic scopear-cms-storage \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=access_key=<REDACTED> \   --from-literal=secret_key=<REDACTED>

For C2 Storage:

kubectl create secret generic scopear-c2-storage \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=access_key=<REDACTED> \   --from-literal=secret_key=<REDACTED>

Redis Secrets

Redis Auth Token (if using AWS Elasticache with authentication tokens):

kubectl create secret generic scopear-cms-redis \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=token=<REDACTED>

TURN Server (Coturn) Secrets

If using Coturn for Remote Assist:

kubectl create secret generic scopear-turn \   --namespace=<namespace> \   --from-literal=username=<REDACTED> \   --from-literal=password=<REDACTED>
