What is the alternative for standalone docker?

[@сойка-и8й]

No there is no alternative for standalone Docker it's available for Docker swarm only.. Docker docs mentions this

[@michaelgleason4791]

@@сойка-и8й That is absolutely false. You can use secrets in a Compose file. Docker docs mentions this

[@UrbanSyed2904]

dot env can be used to input text
dot env (.env)
`db_password=myNotSoSecurePassword`
compose.yaml
`..... MARIADB_PASSWORD=${db_password}`
$ docker compose --env-file /path/.env up
It''s not as secure as secrets but atleast better than password inside yaml file

The alternative would be named volumes I presume
