#Kubernetes Base64 secret editor (keditb64)

Edit Kubernetes Base64-encoded (and gzipped) secrets transparently

Kubernetes secrets are stored as Base64-encoded strings. This makes editing them inconvenient. One has to read, decode, edit, encode, update the secrets. This tool performs all these steps transparently.

#Requirements

• A POSIX shell available at /bin/sh,
• getopt from util-linux,
• jq =~ 1.0
• kubectl from Kubernetes

Optionally:

• sudo or doas (export SUDO=doas)
• vim, nano or other text editor (export EDITOR=nano)
• gzip for gzip support

#Installation

Download the script and make the file executable.

wget https://codeberg.org/krystianch/keditb64/raw/branch/main/keditb64
chmod +x keditb64

#Usage

Please refer to the usage information or run keditb64 -h for more details.

Example:
