💅 podman-secret-rm(1)

okay bestie, welcome to podman-secret-rm from the General Commands Manual corner of the podman-verse ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-secret-rm — remove one or more secrets 🗑️✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

podman secret rm [options] secret [...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. It removes one or more secrets. That's the whole vibe. 💖

But here's the part that's actually important, bestie, listen up: podman secret rm is safe to use on secrets that are in use by a container. No cap. The created container has access to the secret data because secrets are copied and mounted into the container when a container is created. 🫶

Now the lowkey cursed part 😭 — if a secret is deleted and another secret is created with the same name, the secret inside the container does not change; the old secret value still remains. It's giving "I thought you were gone but you're literally still here" energy. 💀

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --all, -a — remove all existing secrets. every single one. gone. 👑
• --help — print usage statement. the classic. 🎀
• --ignore, -i — ignore errors when specified secrets are not present. no drama, no error, just vibes. 🌈
