Password generator

When you want the secret to be randomly generated you can use a Password generator. This generator returns a password that is generated based on its configuration.

The FLOW platform provides a ClusterGenerator resource that can be used by ExternalSecret objects throughout the cluster.

Usage

In order to set up an ExternalSecret backed by the FLOW ClusterGenerator you must define your ExternalSecret in the following way:

  refreshInterval: "0"

    name: example-secret
    creationPolicy: Owner
    template:
      type: Opaque
      data:
        secret: "{{ .password }}"

    - sourceRef:
        generatorRef:
          apiVersion: generators.external-secrets.io/v1alpha1
