Description

Apologies if this is a stupid question but we have concourse and vault setup working really well but whenever we do an upgrade of the chart this secret is being removed because we don't store it anywhere. Is there a way of setting it and then having it ignored by any future upgrades or do we need another secrets manager for this? It's a bit of a chicken vs egg situation I think.

Any guidance would be really appreciated.
