Hi,

There is a way to alias a secret from a rancher-compose.yml, like following ?

```
  php-fpm:
    scale: 1
    start_on_create: true
    secrets:
        - MY_APP_X_TOKEN:APP_TOKEN

```

Use alias like MY\_APP\_X\_TOKEN then pass to the php-fpm service as APP\_TOKEN

No, secrets are written to (in-memory) filesystem, not environment variables.
