 5. **Time-based One-Time Passwords** (TOTP) for two-factor authentication
 6. **Kubernetes Secrets** for seamless integration with containerized applications
 
+## 🔨 How to get it to run
+The External Secrets Operator needs a kubernetes secret containing the **OpenBao's initial token** to access its secrets. You can create it with:
+
+`kubectl create secret generic vault-token --from-literal=token=<root_token_from_getpassword.sh> -n openbao`
+
+To perform any actions in OpenBao you need to authenticate using the following command:
+
+`kubectl exec -ti openbao-0 -n openbao -- vault login <root_token_from_getpassword.sh>`
+
+For demontrational purposes you can enable a **Key-Value secret engine** on the path **/data** with:
+
+`kubectl exec -ti openbao-0 -n openbao -- vault secrets enable -path=data kv`
+
+And to add your first secret just run:
+
+`kubectl exec -ti openbao-0 -n openbao -- vault kv put data/postgres POSTGRES_USER=admin POSTGRES_PASSWORD=123456`
+
