Hard to put a secret into a file

[karak1974]

What are you trying to do?

I'm trying to put a secret into a file, but it's very hard because there's no function what makes it easier.

Why is this important to you?

@karak1974 Can you explain more of what you want to do?

• Where does the secret come from? How generated?
• Why do you want to store it in a file?
• Where would the file be? On client (e.g. laptop, ci server) or file in a container in Dagger?
• Is the file ephemeral (use and throw away) or will it be persisted (e.g. on your laptop, encrypted in a git repo)?
• Would you store the secret decrypted or encrypted somehow?
• Could you store the secret in a more ephemeral place like an environment variable?

Here are secrets docs: https://docs.dagger.io/1204/secrets/
