Asked by antonybaasan
I have created docker backend application that uses Firebase Admin SDK - https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup#node.js_2. At the startup, application need to read JSON file from somewhere.
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/home/user/Downloads/service-account-file.json"
The application is a public docker image, so I can’t put the file inside the image.

Hey there!
I think the best option in this case would be to use ENV variables to store the required fields of the json file to load those details. As this would be a similar setup to Heroku you could do a similar setup as found here
Hope it helps! Nate
