NAME

       podman-secret-create - Create a new secret

SYNOPSIS

       podman secret create [options] name file|-

DESCRIPTION

       Creates a secret using standard input or from a file for the secret content.

       Create accepts a path to a file, or -, which tells podman to read the secret from stdin

       A  secret is a blob of sensitive data which a container needs at runtime but should not be
       stored in  the  image  or  in  source  control,  such  as  usernames  and  passwords,  TLS
       certificates  and  keys, SSH keys or other important generic strings or binary content (up
       to 500 kb in size).

       Secrets will not be committed to an image with podman commit,  and  will  not  be  in  the
       archive created by a podman export

OPTIONS

   --driver, -d=driver
       Specify the secret driver (default file, which is unencrypted).

   --driver-opts=key1=val1,key2=val2
       Specify driver specific options.

   --env=false
       Read secret data from environment variable.

   --help
       Print usage statement.

   --label, -l=key=val1,key2=val2
       Add label to secret. These labels can be viewed in podman secrete inspect or ls.

EXAMPLES

              $ podman secret create my_secret ./secret.json
              $ podman secret create --driver=file my_secret ./secret.json
