I am currently looking at creating web apps with Laravel and Docker Compose as in the following tutorial:
My question is:
Isn’t it a very large security risk to store login credentials on a server? The tutorial instructs to store your MySQL (or other database) username and password in your ~/example/.env file. Is there any way around this that is more secure?
Thank you for your help, -catbyte
