Hi all, is it possible to create a secret from file, or alternatively a multiline secret? I need to create a secret that is the result of the command `openssl rand -base64 128`

It should definitely be possible, but I think how to do this depends on the provider. What’s the secret from? kubernetes, aws, gcp, …? Can you generate the secret once and stick it (encrypted) in the config with `pulumi config set --secret &lt;name&gt; &lt;value&gt;`?

oh. do you mean adding a secret to your config?

It seems to have worked with `pulumi config set --secret metallb-secretKey "$(openssl rand -base64 128)"` :slightly_smiling_face:

nice! `pulumi config set` also accepts data from stdin if you don’t pass a `value`

so `openssl rand -base64 128 | pulumi config set --secret metallb-secretKey` should also work

Oh nice to know, thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:
