Description
I am starting a container through the python API as
import docker
client = docker.from_env()
client.containers.run('alpine', 'ls /run/secrets')
and would like to pass a secret or SecretReference to that container. It seems to me that there is no option to do that?

Research direction
Start with the Python API entry point shown, client.containers.run(), and compare its available options with Docker Engine API support for secrets and SecretReference. Done means the API provides a documented way to pass a secret to the container and the Alpine example can list it under /run/secrets.
