Using ENV's in .conf files

[NonaryR]

General Question

Hello! I can't find answer for this simple question - can I use environment variables for passing it into .conf files?
I am using nomad for orchestration, and ENV's is really a common way to configure all my services.
Thank you!

Wow, exciting to have nomad hacker in nebula community, that's possible!

I used have a sketch here https://www.siwei.io/en/sketches/nebula-config-explained/nebula-config-explained.webp

Nebula's config could be passed with command arguments and that is exactly how nebula docker compose is maintainering configurations with docker-compose file(for k8s, they were done via the conf file though).

Thus in theory, you could pass env variables to its command arguments in this format.
