Vault Demo

This repository contains the code for a basic Golang application that retrieves secrets from Hashicorp Vault

How to run

• Clone this repository by running the command git clone https://github.com/utibeabasi6/vault-demo

• Install Hashicorp Vault in your Kubernetes cluster by following the instructions here

• Set 2 secrets in vault - username and password, with their respective values. This repository assumes you are using the default postgres username of postgres and a password of admin. If your configuration is different, make sure to update the postgres_password key in the secrets.yaml file found in the manifests folder.

• Update the vault_token key in the secrets.yaml file as well to the token you used when setting up vault.

Note that all values in secrets.yaml are base64 encoded. Use the command echo <value> | base64 to encode a value.

• Run the command make to apply all resources in your cluster and run kubectl get pods periodically untill all pods are in the running state.

• Finally, run the command kubectl port-forward svc/vaultapp 3000:3000 and visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the application.
