Managing secrets on Arkindex
This page will guide you through managing secrets on an Arkindex instance.
Note that only Arkindex administrators can set secrets. To make changes to secrets as a user, please contact your administrator.
Viewing a secret¶
A secret’s name and content can be displayed from the administration interface.

- Under the Ponos section, click on Secrets to access the secrets list.

Creating a secret¶
Similarly to the CLI, the Arkindex administration interface handles encryption transparently. A secret becomes immediately available to workers once it is created.

The following page gets displayed:

Editing a secret¶
Secrets are not immutable and can be changed, making it easier to rename them or change them.
To edit a secret on Arkindex¶
- View the secret you want to edit.

- Edit the name and content fields for the secret however you need. Both fields must not be empty, and the name should be unique.
- Click Save.
Deleting a secret¶
Warning
Arkindex does not display which workers depend on which secret. Deleting a secret can cause your workers to cease functioning.
To delete a secret on Arkindex¶
