  • description: Check out Twingate and supercharge your security: https://bit.ly/3Y1OaZi HomeLab secrets usually start simple: one `.env` file next to a Docker Compose stack. But over time, those secrets spread into GitLab variables, deployment scripts, copied folders, backups, notes, and places where they should not live. In this video, I show a practical Infisical workflow for managing HomeLab and Docker secrets. We’ll install and configure Infisical, create a secrets project, explain environments like `dev`, `staging`, and `prod`, manage secrets in folders, sync secrets to GitLab, use the Infisical CLI, and inject secrets into a Docker Compose workflow without committing real values into a `.env` file. I’ll also explain the caveats: Infisical is great as a central source of truth, but automated systems like CI/CD, Portainer, Arcane, Docker Compose, and other deployment tools still need a proper way to receive those secrets.
