Secrets Management - eviltoast

Lately, I’ve been thinking of implementing a secrets management system such as Infiscal, etc. Does anyone use this or something similar like Hashicorp?

How hard would it be to deploy on a pre-existing set up? How does that work? Do you call the required secret in your Docker compose? What makes a secret manager more secure than pulling secrets from an .env file?

Which secret manager is the most popular/better among selfhosters?

      Well I run a hybrid set up of 3 VPS and one rack in the closet.

      Maybe something like sops is all you need

      Unpack that a little for me if you would.
