kubectl-credentials-helper

This is a kubectl credentials helper. It is using your local OS keychain to store sensitive content of your KUBECONFIG.

To install:

go install github.com/plumber-cd/kubectl-credentials-helper

You can also download this from releases.

To secure your existing KUBECONFIG, use:

kubectl-credentials-helper secure --kubeconfig path

If --kubeconfig was not provided - it will try to find KUBECONFIG env variable and as a last resort - default user home ~/.kube/config.

This will save all sensitive info from a local KUBECONFIG to your OS specific keychain. Sensitive considered the following:

• .user.username
• .user.password
• .user.client-certificate-data
• .user.client-key-data

For user entries that it finds, it will replace in your KUBECONFIG with the following:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Config
users:
- name: <name>
  user:
    exec:
      apiVersion: client.authentication.k8s.io/v1
      command: kubectl-credentials-helper
      provideClusterInfo: true
      interactiveMode: Never

Now, every time you are trying to access this cluster - the helper will fetch sensitive info from OS specific keychain.
