All the times I just put docker-compose.yml to one user (my user) directory and call it a day.

But what about a service with multiple admins or with more horizontally split up load?

I host forgejo internally and use that to sync changes. .env and data directories are in .gitignore (they get backed up via a separate process)

All the files are part of my docker group so anyone in it can read everything. Restarting services is handled by systemd unit files (so sudo systemctl stop/start/restart) any user that needs to manipulate containers would have the appropriate sudo access.

It's only me they does all this though, I set it up this way for funsies.
