Is it possible to use environment variables in config.yml?

See original GitHub issue

Hi --First off great work on this and also the old incarnation of the project!

I’m working to migrate to dnsrobocert from the old project, and I was wondering if it is possible to use environment variables in the config.yml? something like:

email_account: ${LETSENCRYPT_USER_MAIL}

I ask because I use this tool to inject environment variables into my container, so I don’t have to store them in plain text on my server. https://github.com/cyberark/summon

Perhaps there’s a better way of thinking about how to protect my “secrets” with dnsrobocert, so I am all ears for alternatives.

Injecting environment variables in the configuration file is now supported with the new release 3.3.2.

This is independant from #27, that I will do later, and consists in a configuration through environment variables without any configuration file.

Yes it refers to the old environment variables. However, the new one is not yet implemented. I am working on it, and hope to finish it by the end of this week.
