Bad Practice

I could very well say let's use Github/DigitalOcean for secrets and containers, but I work by myself and I have one project that runs about 20 servers (API's, webhooks, crons, etc.) with each having different slightly different .env's. I code in Rust instead of PHP or JS in the backend, so I'm more concerned with supervisor's configuration more than the actual env.

@tristan If you're having serious infrastructure you're already relying on external providers (whether it's AWS, GCP or Azure) so using different service for secrets doesn't make much difference.
