Bootstrapping kubernetes auth method

warning

Important Note: This chart is not compatible with Helm 2. Please use Helm 3.6+ with this chart.

In this example, we will walk through how to set up the Kubernetes Auth Method.

This assumes the following commands will be run inside a OpenBao pod running in Kubernetes.

Exec into the OpenBao pod:

kubectl exec -it openbao-0 -- /bin/sh

If you didn't set server.dev.enabled=true, you'll need to log in to OpenBao first using openbao login. Then run the following commands to configure the Kubernetes Auth Method:

openbao auth enable kubernetes
openbao write auth/kubernetes/config \
kubernetes_host=https://$KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST:$KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT

From here you can continue to configure OpenBao from the Kubernetes Auth Method documentation.
