13. Kubernetes Secrets and Middleware Basic Auth

1. Create login credentials using htpasswd

htpasswd -nBb admin password > auth

2. Create Kubernetes Secret

kubectl create secret generic admin-secret --from-file=auth

Kubernetes will create base64 encoded string from the given file. That's why we don't need to encoded manually in the first step.

3. Review Midlleware Basic Auth and Deploy it

Validation

• check Kubernetes Secret

kubectl get secrets admin-secret -o jsonpath='{.data.auth}'|base64 -d 

• check Traefik Middleware

kubectl get middlewares.traefik.containo.us
