External Secrets Operator

External Secrets Operator (ESO) syncs secrets from 1Password to Kubernetes Secrets via 1Password Connect.

Architecture

1Password Cloud
      |
      v
1Password Connect (namespace: 1password)
      |
      v
External Secrets Operator (namespace: external-secrets)
      |
      v
Native Kubernetes Secrets

Usage

ClusterSecretStore onepassword-blumeops provides access to the blumeops vault. See argocd/manifests/devpi/external-secret.yaml for a simple example.

Important: 1Password Connect doesn't support the ?ssh-format=openssh query parameter. SSH keys must be stored as Secure Notes with the OpenSSH-formatted key (see argocd-forge-ssh-key item).

# Check all ExternalSecrets
kubectl --context=minikube-indri get externalsecret -A

# Find 1Password field names
op item get <item> --vault blumeops --format json | jq '.fields[] | .label'

Bootstrap (One-Time Setup)

If reinstalling from scratch:

  1. Create Connect server credentials:

    op connect server create blumeops --vaults blumeops
op connect token create blumeops --server <server-id> --vault blumeops

  2. Store in 1Password item "1Password Connect":

    • credentials-file: raw JSON
    • credentials-base64: base64-encoded JSON
    • token: access token

  3. Apply bootstrap secret:

    kubectl --context=minikube-indri create namespace 1password
op inject -i argocd/manifests/1password-connect/secret-credentials.yaml.tpl | \
  kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f -

  4. Sync apps in order:

    • argocd app sync 1password-connect
    • argocd app sync external-secrets-crds
    • argocd app sync external-secrets
    • argocd app sync external-secrets-config
