Download and extract plugin curl -LO https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-sealed-secrets-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.0/headlamp-sealed-secrets-0.2.0.tar.gz tar -xzf headlamp-sealed-secrets-0.2.0.tar.gz -C ~/Library/Application\ Support/Headlamp/plugins/ # 2. Restart Headlamp # macOS: Cmd+Q then reopen # Linux: killall headlamp && headlamp ``` ### First Secret (3 minutes) ```bash # 1. Install Sealed Secrets controller (if not already installed) kubectl apply -f https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets/releases/download/v0.24.0/controller.yaml # 2. In Headlamp UI: # - Navigate to "Sealed Secrets" in sidebar # - Click "Create Sealed Secret" # - Fill in name, namespace, and secret data # - Click "Create" # 3. Verify the secret was created kubectl get sealedsecret -A kubectl get secret -n ``` **📖 Detailed Guide**: [Quick Start Tutorial](docs/getting-started/quick-start.md) - Complete walkthrough with screenshots ## 📚 Documentation ### Getting Started - 📘 **[Installation Guide](docs/getting-started/installation.md)** - Multiple installation methods (macOS, Linux, Windows) - 🚀 **[Quick Start Tutorial](docs/getting-started/quick-start.md)** - Create your first sealed secret in 5 minutes ### User Guides - 🔐 **[Creating Secrets](docs/user-guide/creating-secrets.md)** - Encrypt and create sealed secrets - 🔑 **[Managing Keys](docs/user-guide/managing-keys.md)** - View and download sealing certificates - 🎯 **[Scopes Explained](docs/user-guide/scopes-explained.md)** - Strict vs namespace-wide vs cluster-wide - 🔒 **[RBAC Permissions](docs/user-guide/rbac-permissions.md)** - Configure access control ### Tutorials - ⚙️ **[CI/CD Integration](docs/tutorials/ci-cd-integration.md)** - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins - 🌐 **[Multi-Cluster Setup](docs/tutorials/multi-cluster-setup.md)** - Manage secrets across clusters - 🔄 **[Secret Rotation](docs/tutorials/secret-rotation.md)** - Rotate secrets and sealing keys safely ### Reference - 🔧 **[Troubleshooting](docs/troubleshooting/)** - Common issues and solutions - 📖 **[API Reference](docs/api-reference/generated/)** - Auto-generated TypeScript docs - 🏛️ **[Architecture ADRs](docs/architecture/adr/)** - Design decisions and rationale - 👨‍💻 **[Development Guide](docs/development/workflow.md)** - Contributing and testing **📚 [Complete Documentation Index](docs/README.md)** ## 📋 Prerequisites - **Headlamp** v0.13.0 or later - **Sealed Secrets controller** in your cluster: ```bash kubectl apply -f https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets/releases/download/v0.24.0/controller.yaml ``` - **kubectl** access with appropriate RBAC permissions ## 🎯 Use Cases | Use Case | Description | Guide | |----------|-------------|-------| | **GitOps Workflows** | Store encrypted secrets safely in Git repos | [CI/CD Integration](docs/tutorials/ci-cd-integration.md) | | **Multi-Environment** | Manage secrets across dev/staging/prod | [Multi-Cluster Setup](docs/tutorials/multi-cluster-setup.md) | | **CI/CD Automation** | Automate secret creation in pipelines | [GitHub Actions Example](docs/tutorials/ci-cd-integration.md#github-actions) | | **Team Collaboration** | Share encrypted secrets securely | [RBAC Permissions](docs/user-guide/rbac-permissions.md) | | **Key Management** | Monitor and rotate sealing certificates | [Secret Rotation](docs/tutorials/secret-rotation.md) | | **Compliance** | Audit trail and access control | [Security Hardening](docs/deployment/security-hardening.md) | ### Real-World Examples ```yaml # Example: Database credentials in Git (safe!) apiVersion: bitnami.com/v1alpha1 kind: SealedSecret metadata: name: database-creds namespace: production spec: encryptedData: username: AgBc7E5x... # Encrypted, safe to commit password: AgAK9Qm... # Encrypted, safe to commit ``` ```bash # Example: CI/CD pipeline creating secrets echo -n "$DB_PASSWORD" | kubeseal \ --cert sealed-secrets-cert.pem \ --scope strict \ --name database-creds \ --namespace production ``` ## 🏗️ Architecture ``` ┌─────────────┐ │ Headlamp │ │ Browser │ └──────┬──────┘ │ ├─ Client-Side Encryption (node-forge) │ └─ RSA-OAEP + AES-256-GCM │ ├─ Headlamp Plugin │ ├─ React Components (WCAG 2.1 AA) │ ├─ Type-Safe API (Result types) │ ├─ RBAC Integration │ └─ Health Monitoring │ ▼ ┌──────────────────┐ │ Kubernetes API │ └─────────┬────────┘ │ ▼ ┌──────────────────┐ │ Sealed Secrets │ │ Controller │ └──────────────────┘ ``` ## 🔒 Security ### Zero Trust Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ User's Browser │ │ │ │ 1.
