How to protect the plain text data on the docker-compose file​

docker-compose.yml file may contains some sensitive data such as database username and password. You may have concern to put them as a plain text file in the folder.

For the docker compose file, it is the setup procedure for the command docker-compose up, and once the composer is startup, it will no need the docker-compose.yml any more until you want to stop or restart the service.

Once you confirm the Offision service start up normally, you may move the file to a secure location, or mask out the important data. However, you need make sure you are able to resume the same docker-compose file when you restart the Offision service.
