Dump secrets to file

[hongkongkiwi]

It would be great to have an option to dump the secrets to a file instead of environment variables. This can have the option to replicate docker secrets functionality.

Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

One way you can already achieve this is using the command:

vaultenv --no-inherit-env -- env > secrets.txt

which exposes only your secrets to env and dumps those to secrets.txt. Please keep in mind that having your secrets in a file on disk is not always the safest way, as it somewhat negates the point of vault.
