  You can specify a folder in your files for configs, and a different one for the compose and env:

  - config
     - <container_config>
  - docker
    - container 
        - compose.yml

  Definitely worth a shot.

  One thing I do to prevent stuff from getting into a public git repo is:

  • In the git repo, make a file called .gitignore then add the line .env to it. Then git will ignore any file named .env
  • edit compose files from a computer that is separate from the one that gets secrets. I have my desktop setup to push to github. Then I make a change, then simply run `git pull on my server to download the changes.
  • make the .env only viewable by root (you’ll have to use sudo nano) by running sudo chmod 600 .env && sudo chown root:root .env

  I have mine in git! I have:

  -docker
    - .env
    - <thing name>
        - dockers-compose.yml
  

  Then using docker compose --env-file …/.env -v up -d it uses the above .env file. (…/ means up one folder)
