Application Config file using Kubernetes ConfigMaps


You can either create a ConfigMap or a Secret e.g.

apiVersion: v1kind: ConfigMapmetadata:  name: test-config  namespace: defaultdata:  AppConfig.json: |-    {      "slackIncomingHook": [        {"HookUrl": "<<HookUrl>>"}      ],      "wikiPage": {        "url": "<<url>>",        "timeFrame" : "week"      },      "database": {        "dbName": "DBNAME",        "dbHostName": "mongodb://username:password@<<IP Address>>:27017/"      }    }

You can create secret also as they are base64 encoded so

apiVersion: v1kind: Secretmetadata:  name: test-secret  namespace: defaulttype: Opaquedata:  AppConfig.json: |-     BASE_64_ENCODED_JSON

In the deployment, add secret/config to volumes node and set volume mounts and mountPath to the path of your config.json.

volumeMounts:    - name: test-secretm      mountPath: PATH_OF_YOUR_CONFIG_JSONvolumes:      - name: test-secretm        secret:            secretName: test-secret
