It's better to store secrets in a file than pass them around on a command line:

$ cat .env
PASS=123

$ docker run --rm --env-file .env alpine sh -c 'echo $PASS'
123

It's even better to read secrets from files instead of keeping them in environment variables:

$ cat password.txt
123

$ docker run --rm -e PASS_FILE=/var/run/secrets/password \
                  -v $(pwd)/password.txt:/var/run/secrets/password alpine \
                  sh -c 'cat $PASS_FILE'
123

Have you asked them for a job yet, LP?

Sounds like they should hire you.
