## NAME
 | 
						|
podman\-secret\-create - Create a new secret
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
**podman secret create** [*options*] *name* *file|-*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Creates a secret using standard input or from a file for the secret content.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create accepts a path to a file, or `-`, which tells podman to read the secret from stdin
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A secret is a blob of sensitive data which a container needs at runtime but
 | 
						|
should not be stored in the image or in source control, such as usernames and passwords,
 | 
						|
TLS certificates and keys, SSH keys or other important generic strings or binary content (up to 500 kb in size).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Secrets will not be committed to an image with `podman commit`, and will not be in the archive created by a `podman export`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
