Deploying without ClusterSecretStore and ClusterExternalSecret and ClusterPushSecret

When deploying External Secrets Operator via Helm chart, the default configuration will install ClusterSecretStore and ClusterExternalSecret and other CRDs and these objects will be processed by the operator.

In order to disable both or one of these features, it is necessary to configure the crds.* Helm value, as well as the process* Helm value, as these 2 values are connected.

If you would like to install the operator without ClusterSecretStore and ClusterExternalSecret and ClusterPushSecret management, you will have to :

  • set crds.createClusterExternalSecret to false
  • set crds.createClusterSecretStore to false
  • set crds.createClusterPushSecret to false
  • set processClusterExternalSecret to false
  • set processClusterStore to false
  • set processClusterPushSecret to false

Example:

helm install external-secrets external-secrets/external-secrets --set crds.createClusterExternalSecret=false \
--set crds.createClusterSecretStore=false \
--set crds.createClusterPushSecret=false \
--set processClusterExternalSecret=false \
--set processClusterStore=false \
--set processClusterPushSecret=false
