A deprecated Helm plugin that manages encrypted secrets files (YAML/JSON) within Git workflows, using SOPS as its backend for per-value encryption with PGP, AWS KMS, and GCP KMS. It wraps helm commands to decrypt secrets on the fly during install/upgrade and supports cleartext git diffs.
Use cases
- manage encrypted helm values files in git
- encrypt kubernetes secrets with sops
- decrypt secrets on the fly during helm install
- store helm secrets with aws kms or gcp kms
- view cleartext git diffs of encrypted secret files
- share secrets safely across a team via pull requests
When to choose
- you are already locked into this plugin's workflow and cannot migrate
- you need a historical reference for how helm-secrets integrations worked
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the active fork jkroepke/helm-secrets instead
- you need support, bug fixes, or compatibility with modern helm versions
- you want a maintained secrets management solution for kubernetes
