TIP: Using secrets file with docker compose

[mgrimace]

Hello,

Thanks for this clever bot!

As mentioned in the readme, it's not a great idea to use passwords, OTP, etc., in plain text.
One solution is to use a 'hidden' .secrets.env file, which comprises a list of all your emails, passwords, keys, etc., entered as 'VALUE=actual`, for example:

NOTIFY=tgram://....
EG_EMAIL=email
EG_PASSWORD=password
EG_OTPKEY=key
...

etc.

Then, in the compose.yaml, you can add the following line, making sure to specify the actual path:

    env_file:
      - /path/to/fgc/.secrets.env

When using docker compose up -d it should build and run the container as if you'd entered all your emails/passwords/keys as environmental variables, but pulls them from the hidden 'dot' file. I'm not sure how to do this a docker run command, or if there's other/better solutions, but this one works for me and is relative easy to implement.
