How do I use envSecrets in Helm deployments?

To use

envSecrets

in Helm deployments for Dagster, you can specify secrets that should be included as environment variables in your Kubernetes Pods. This is particularly useful for injecting sensitive information such as database passwords or API keys into your application without hardcoding them into your source code or Docker images. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the documentation: 1. Add the Dagster Helm repository: First, you need to add the Dagster Helm repository to your Helm client if you haven't already done so:

helm repo add dagster-cloud <https://dagster-io.github.io/helm-user-cloud>    helm repo update

2. View the Helm chart values: To understand the different customizations you can apply, including how to configure

envSecrets

, you can view the chart's default values:

helm show values dagster-cloud/dagster-cloud-agent

Alternatively, you can view the chart values on ArtifactHub. 3. Configure

envSecrets

: In your Helm values file, you can specify the

envSecrets

under the appropriate section. For example, if you want to add secrets to all Kubernetes Pods spun up by the agent, you can specify your configuration under the

workspace

value of the Helm chart. Here's an example snippet from a Helm values file:

yaml    workspace:      envSecrets:        - name: my-secret

In this example,

my-secret

is the name of the Kubernetes Secret you want to inject into your Pods. 4. Reference the Secret in a Pod: The documentation provides an example of how to reference a Secret in a Pod's specification:

yaml    apiVersion: v1    kind: Pod    metadata:      name: my-app    spec:      containers:        - name: my-container          image: my-image          env:            - name: DB_PASSWORD              valueFrom:                secretKeyRef:                  name: app-secrets                  key: DB_PASSWORD

In this example, the

DB_PASSWORD

environment variable is set to the value of the

DB_PASSWORD

key in the

app-secrets

Secret. 5. Deploy or update your Helm release: Once you have configured the

envSecrets

in your values file, you can deploy or update your Helm release with the new configuration:

helm upgrade --install my-release dagster-cloud/dagster-cloud-agent -f my-values.yaml

Remember to replace

my-release

,

my-values.yaml

, and other placeholders with your actual release name and values file. Also, ensure that the Kubernetes Secret (

my-secret

in the example) exists in the same namespace where you are deploying your Helm release. For more detailed information and options, you should refer to the specific documentation for the Dagster Helm chart and Kubernetes Secrets.
