kubectl-htpasswd

kubectl-htpasswd is a nginx-ingress compatible basic-auth secret generator. Although Kubernetes supports basic-auth secrets, these secrets are incompatible with many ingresses such like NGINX ingress. This plugin provides an easy way to create bcrypt hashed secrets on the fly without much hassle.

Supported hash algorithms

• bcrypt

Examples

Create the secret on the cluster in the current namespace

$ kubectl htpasswd create $SECRETNAME $USER1=$PASSWORD1 $USER2=$PASSWORD2

Just print the secret in yaml

$ kubectl htpasswd create $SECRETNAME $USER1=$PASSWORD1 $USER2=$PASSWORD2 -o yaml --dry-run `
