In a previous blog post Managing Secrets in OpenShift with Infisical, we walked through the process of configuring the Infisical Secrets Operator in OpenShift. The Infisical Secrets Operator allowed us to access secrets managed by Infisical from within OpenShift. But what if you want to host the Infisical application yourself, instead of relying on the Saas version, well then this post is for you. In this post we will talk about deploying the Infisical application itself, so that you can run a local instance of Infisical and keep all your secrets safe.

Handling secrets in Kubernetes and more specifically OpenShift is an ever evolving space. There are many secrets managers available including Google Secrets Manger, HashiCorp Vault, CyberArk and Azure Key Vault, just to name a few. In this post we will be testing out a new player in the secrets management arena called Infisical.
