Email Creds in Plain Text

[smseidl]

Is there anyway to protect the email creds more instead of having them in plain text in the docker-compose file? Would this be able to inherit the paperless email setup?

Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback. I absolutely understand your issue.

A few short term solutions might be (do either of these suit your needs?):

1. Use docker secrets: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/
2. Use a .env file. Here is an example of how calendso does it: https://github.com/calendso/docker/blob/main/.env

In the long term it may be possible to inherit from paperless. But this would probably require more engineering effort (might be feasible, but probably a bit complicated accessing databases etc, happy to be corrected here).

I will review those options in the next week and update here.
