Especially for secrets, it would be very handy to allow configuration via environment variables instead of having them written in plaintext in the configuration file.

This would make deployment via Nix and other deployment tools easier.

Possible implementations would be to read variables like RPC_SECRET directly, or allow specifying them as $VARIABLE in the toml config.

Alternatively, allow specifying the secrets in separate files, so that these can be provided separately form the main configuration with something like rpc_secret_file instead of rpc_secret

The last paragraph of this was handled in #466.

Could be nice to also have the admin token be configured by a file, or at least support env vars for just the "sensitive" variables.

It would mean you could check in your config file to git without exposing secrets and could make docker-compose nicer

Secrets can be passed directly in config, as file, or as env #499
