How to update Secrets (Without Deleting and Creating) in Openshift?

Question

I have a folder in my server that I want to update inside a cointaier in a pod. How do I do that without deleting the Secret?

I know that the following creates my secret: oc create secret generic privkey --from-file=/opt/privkey

I know that the following deletes the secret:

oc delete secret generic privkey

Is there a way to do that without deleting? I am fine if I have to delete the pod.

try this:

oc create secret generic privkey --from-file=/opt/privkey --dry-run -o yaml | oc replace -f -

works like a charm. Thanks. I thought that a solution could be writing the yml file. the -o with replace works great – Ddene

For newer openshift/OKD versions, when "oc replace -f -" is no longer working, use "oc apply -f -" – Labourite
