-First we export the variables in the `ddclient_secrets.env` file (which are all simple key-value pairs). Then, the [`envsubst`](https://www.baeldung.com/linux/envsubst-command) command looks for env variable references (like `$USER_Jafner_chat`) in the `ddclient.template` file (via stdin) and replaces them with the values from the current shell. Lastly, we remove the secrets from the shell to preserve security.
