+# Running FediFetcher using a Kubernetes cronjob
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> 
+> The below are not step-by-step instructions. We assume that you mostly know what you are doing.
+
+You should first create a k8s secret, in order to then expose the token as an environment variable (this also avoids anything which might log the command line from including the sensitive value):
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic fedifetcher \
+    --from-literal=server_domain=example.com \
+    --from-literal=token="<token>"
+```
+
+Now define the cronjob, and don't forget to define your PVCs:

+```yaml
