Managing Secrets with 1Password and External Secrets

Foreword

This post has been adapted from this source post by Artur Rychlewicz. I am very grateful for the post but had to adapt the contents for my own homelab setup. Steps to get the 1password operator and external-secrets to play together has been adapted from the source post.
