Description

Small feature request. I am using helmfile for the deployment of our k8s infrastructure and wanted to use sops for encryption of secrets. I need to use the --keyservice but as I am calling sops inside a wrapper (helmfile) of a wrapper (helm secrets) I cannot pass this variable to sops in a clean way.

Could you provide an alternative way to provide this option to sops in the .sops.conf and/or in an ENV variable?

Research direction

Start at the --keyservice entry point and trace how .sops.conf options are read. Check the existing configuration and environment-variable handling, then define how either mechanism should provide this option and verify that wrapped invocations can use it.
