PostgREST Config File db-uri Password

[mchatrvd]

Hi

What are the options to not hard code the password for the db-uri connection parameter in the PostgREST config file and have it read instead from somewhere else securely? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Manish

Hello,

You can get it from a file too:

db-uri = @filename

I believe the standard pg_service.conf file should work too

Thanks so much for your help
