Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/590

I would like to request support for a password-file option next to the existing password option inside the subscribe option in client.yml. The reason for requesting this is that I use agenix for handling my serverside secrets, and as such I can't hardcode passwords in config files. The password for a ntfy subscription could for instance be published in /run/agenix/ntfy_topic_pw, and I would like ntfy to be able to read it from there.

I solved this by assigning $NTFY_USER using EnvironmentFile in my systemd service. The approach suggested in this issue still has my preference, but at least it works now. :)

Similar to this ticket (https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1492), I don't really want to support this. The config file can easily be made private.
