Manage Docker secrets

## NAME

cdist-type\_\_docker\_secret - Manage Docker secrets

## DESCRIPTION

This type manages Docker secrets.

## OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

- **source**

  Path to the source file. If it is '-' (dash), read standard input.

- **state**

  'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present' where:

  - **present**

    if the secret does not exist, it is created

  - **absent**

__docker_secret foo --source bar
```
