Documented steps

  1. Create a secret from a file: `podman secret create myapp_secret /path/to/file`, or from stdin by passing - as the source.
  2. Rotate in place with --replace, or skip errors on a name collision with --ignore (mutually exclusive).
  3. Attach the secret to a container at run time: `podman run --secret source=myapp_secret,type=mount,mode=400 --rm <image> ...`.
  4. View secrets with `podman secret ls` and metadata with `podman secret inspect`.
  5. Secrets can also supply registry credentials for `podman login` via --secret.
