`GenerateHashedPassword` is my method that returns a `string` with the hash.

The problem that I have is that every time I run a `preview` or `up`  the `GeneratedHashedPassword` method gets called and generates a different hash.. so all the dependencies that I have on that also get regenerated :confused:

Is there any `pulumi` way of handling this, or do I have to change my underlying method to always return the same output given one input?

Hi,

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/crosswalk/kubernetes/app-services/#postgres-database|Here's an example> from our docs on how to do what you're asking. The only difference is that the encoding is happening at the point of deploying the secret

Ah that makes sense. So if the rendering happens at the creation time, given that the `randomPassword` doesn’t change, pulumi doesn’t run my function.
Just tried it and it works fine.
Thank you <@U01FB0HRB2Q> :thumbsup:

Leaving here this code example if anyone runs into the same problem.
This is for `traefik` v2 basic auth btw.

Then on the secret, I just call this method with the desired `user`.
Ofc, can be adapted for multiple users.

<@US35A0DFU> it doesn't answer your question, but you can also pass `stringData` to a Kubernetes secret (instead of `data`) and the k8s API will base64 encode it:
always useful to know

Thanks for sharing this code. This is useful for my usecase of encoding caddyserver basic auth as well
