I am trying to implement the JSON authentication method to authenticate against Google Container Registry.This method requires Service Account JSON key file to be passed during authentication.
Is it possible to pass the content of the JSON as a variable instead of the credentials itself? I would not want to do that security region.



ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/cat > keyfile.json << EOF

<file path>

EOF

          You could run your ExecStartPre in shell, eg.



          /bin/sh -c "<commands>"


          or place the contents in separate shell script and point ExecStartPre to it.
