    You can use chezmoi to manage files outside your home directory if you really want to.

    For an example, see https://github.com/felipecrs/dotfiles:

    The `home` directory contains home directory files.

    The `root` directory contains root directory files (e.g `/etc`).

    For example, in my dotfiles, every single of these steps are automated, including configuring /etc/docker/daemon.json, changing ~/.profile, and even providing a way to automatically update your extra binaries (docker-compose, or the wincred.exe) every time you update your dotfiles (by using a feature of chezmoi - a dotfiles manager which I totally recommend).

    Docker supports a credential-helper module[0], which supports 4 different backends for fetching the docker registry credentials: osxkeychain, pass, wincred, and secretservice.

    pass lets you use GPG-smartcards, and many of those (such as Yubikeys) will let you enforce touch-policies for signing/encruption.

    As a combination of both these however, I must touch my Yubikey every time I pull a new docker image.

    Another cool use-case is that I use the terraform-pass-provider to save secrets for my personal terraform project.
