I newly stepped into TF/Ansible for my home network and have an orchestrator that spins up my app VM, but it's riddled with secrets and I'd like to use github's private repo (not interested in hosting my own gitlab and the like) to store my playbooks. do you guys just handle it via an .env file or the like or is there a better secrets manager/vault I could be hosting?

also - I'm stepping into the world of monitoring these services, I'm looking into homepage and grafana, but not sure if there's other things I should look into (there's a lot!)
