POST /v1/containers

Create a container

There are three different types of containers that can be created: generic, rsa, and certificate.

Generic

This type of container holds any number of references to secrets. Each secret reference is accompanied by a name. Unlike other container types, no specific restrictions are enforced on the contents name attribute.

RSA

This type of container is designed to hold references to only three different secrets. These secrets are enforced by their accompanied names: public_key, private_key, and private_key_passphrase.

Certificate

This type of container is designed to hold a reference to a certificate and optionally private_key, private_key_passphrase, and intermediates.

Request Attributes

Name	Type	Description
name	string	(optional) Human readable name for identifying your container
type	string	Type of container. Options: generic, rsa, certificate
secret_refs	list	A list of dictionaries containing references to secrets
