embed user and password

[croll83]

Hi, I need to invoke couchtato from crontab, but on prod environment I don't want to hardcode DB user an password. Is there a way to include this auth params in the config file?

Sorry for the super late reply.

Unfortunately I won't have the time to work on better credential handling in Couchtato itself.

I don't know the set up of your infrastructure, but if you have a vault service somewhere that manages secret, then it's probably easier to write a wrapper script that retrieves the password and set them as env variable. Just an option.
