All guides to deploy using docker mention typing your keys/credentials/secrets into the docker compose file, or use a .env or similar file, I’m wondering how secure is this and if there’s a better option.

Also, this has the issue of having to get into the server to manage them, remembering which file has each credential.

Is there a selfhostable secrets manager? I’ve only found proprietary/paid ones for large infrastructures and I just need it for a couple of my servers/projects.

    Perhaps look into hashicorp vault

      I wish there was something between hashicorp vault and keepass. I want a nice simple UI that even my family could use with Terraform integration. Anyone know of such a program?

        I have no experience with terraform but Bitwarden has an API and CLI, so you might be able to script something with it?
