A common feature in many docker containers (mariadb, all of lsio containers, authelia) is the ability to set secret configuration parameters, or configuration parameters in general, via a file. Users supply an env var such as LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS_FILE which contains the location of a file whose contents set the parameter.

In particular, this is useful because it enables you to employ docker secrets, which in turn allows you to store secrets in a completely encrypted manner, and doesn't depend on plaintext storage.

This should be doable with a startup script. Do you want to have a go at it?
