+Environment variables that contain senstitive data can be suffixed with `_FILE`. If you take the expected environment variable for the configuration 
+option with the _FILE suffix at the end, the contents of the file it points to will be used. See [Docker Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/) 
+and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/use-secrets/) docs for more info on using secrets.
