Hi,
I need to provide a credentials file with secrets available at runtime (for google's ADC: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials).
In render.com there is a feature available to upload secrets that will be made available at runtime in the deployed containers: https://render.com/docs/configure-environment-variables#secret-files
I need to have a similar feature (if available) or a way how to do the same thing.
Thanks!

You can do the same by adding it as an environment variable and adding the link to the file as a value.

The idea is to keep the content of the file as a secret.
How would I add the file to the container without making it part of the repository it checks out when deploying?
What I did now to work around this limitation, is adding the contents of a credentials file to an ENV VAR and at runtime, in the application, writing this contents to disk and setting a new ENV VAR pointing to this file location

That's a good work around. It's not on the roadmap to support file secrets yet.

fyi this doesn't work because of private keys that contain new lines
