displayed in the output of a successful install. ### Existing secret Instead of having this chart create the secret for you, you can supply a preexisting secret, much like an existing PersistentVolumeClai. First, create the secret: ```bash kubectl create secret generic my-minio-secret --from-literal=rootUser=foobarbaz --from-literal=rootPassword=foobarbazqux ``` Then install the chart, specifying that you want to use an existing secret: ```bash helm install --set existingSecret=my-minio-secret minio/minio...

set the env. variable `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` and start/restart the MinIO server. For more details about KES and how
to set it up refer to our [KMS Guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/README.md).

Instead of configuring an external KMS you can start with a single key by
setting the env. variable `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY`. It expects the following
format:

```sh
MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY=<key-name>:<base64-value>
```

	for _, secret := range secretDump {
		if strings.Contains(secret.State, "Unavailable") {
			secret.State = "Unavailable"
		}
		if len(secret.CertChain) == 0 {
			fmt.Fprintf(w, "%v\t%v\t%v\t%v\t%v\t%v\t%v\n",
				secret.Identity, valueOrNA(""), secret.State, false, valueOrNA(""), valueOrNA(""), valueOrNA(""))
		} else {
			for i, ca := range secret.CertChain {
				t := "Intermediate"
				if i == 0 {
