Prepare Configurations

Master Key and Join Key

Artifactory will generate the following keys upon installation. It is essential to configure these keys during a fresh installation in a production environment, as failing to do so will result in the use of default placeholder key values. Please ensure that you securely save these key values for future reference.

Create a unique Master Key

# Create a key
export MASTER_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
echo ${MASTER_KEY}

Create a “masterkey-secret” to hold the value

$ kubectl create secret generic masterkey-secret --from-literal=master-key=${MASTER_KEY}

Create a unique Join Key

By default, the chart will also set a Join Key value for you. For a production environment, we highly recommend setting a unique value.

# Create a join key
export JOIN_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
echo ${JOIN_KEY}

Create a secret containing the key. The key in the secret must be named join-key

$ kubectl create secret generic joinkey-secret --from-literal=join-key=${JOIN_KEY}
