I try to keep secrets such as passwords and keys out in their own separate files so that I can `.gitignore` them and commit the rest of my configuration. With `docker-compose` we can do that with the `env_file` field. Here is an example with a postgres configuration:
```yaml
database:
image: postgres:13.4
container_name: database
hostname: database
env_file:
- Volumes/database/docker.env
volumes:
- Volumes/database/var/lib/postgresql/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
```
Then in `Volumes/database/docker.env` I can have a file with the secrets as key-value pairs:
```yaml
POSTGRES_USER=user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=389ed93045c84cc0828c4310e6ef76ce
POSTGRES_DB=database
```
