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  • you need a historical reference for how helm-secrets integrations worked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
