### Rasa X Secrets Management

Rasa X version 0.33.0 or higher is only compatible with Rasa Open Source 2.x. If you are on Rasa Open Source 1.x, please check the [compatibility matrix](https://legacy-docs-rasa-x.rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/changelog/compatibility-matrix) for a compatible version.

By default, the Helm chart will use the passwords specified in the `values.yml` and expose them within the cluster as a [secret](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/).

You can also provide your own [secrets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/) instead of having the Helm chart generate them for you. This section shows you how to create an external secret using the example of the secret which is used for the Rasa components (this does not include components like the database). To see the required structure for secrets used by the subcharts, please follow the documentation of the subcharts. You can find the necessary links in the [values.yml](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-x-helm/blob/master/charts/rasa-x/values.yaml) of the Rasa X Helm chart.

1. Specify the name of your secret in the `values.yml`:
   
   ```yaml
   rasaSecret:"<name of your secret>"
   ```

2. Create a yaml file `<secret-filename>.yml` which contains the following entries (make sure to replace the `<your value>` entries):
   
   ```yaml
   apiVersion:"v1"
   kind:"Secret"
   metadata:
     name:"<name of your secret>"
   type:"Opaque"
   data:
     initialPassword:{{ .Values.rasax.initialUser.password | b64enc | quote }}
     rasaToken:{{ <your value>| b64enc | quote }}
     rasaXToken:{{ <your value>| b64enc | quote }}
     passwordSalt:{{ <your value>| b64enc | quote }}
     jwtSecret:{{<your value>| b64enc | quote }}
   ```

3. Create the secret on the cluster by running this command:
   
   ```bash
   kubectl --namespace <your namespace> 
   apply -f <secret-filename>.yml
   ```

4. Then deploy the Rasa X chart. The components will then use the provided external secrets.

##### Note
If you use `rasactl` to create a deployment, you can define a namespace with the secret as an argument in CLI, e.g. the secret has been created in the `my-namespace` namespace, then use the `rasactl start my-namespace` command to create Rasa X deployment.
