Task: allow the user and password of swift service to be customized, preferably using docker secrets.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/

Docker secrets are (text) files made securely visible to containers under /run/secret/<name>. Example:

version: '3.7'

services:
  swift:
    image: fnndsc/docker-swift-onlyone:latest
    init: true
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - swift_storage:/srv
    environment:
      SWIFT_CREDENTIALS_FILE: /run/secret/swift-credentials
    secrets:
      - swift-credentials
    restart: unless-stopped

secrets:
  swift-credentials:
    file: ./my-swift-credentials.env

Example ./my-swift-credentials.env

SWIFT_USERNAME=myusername:password5
SWIFT_KEY=mycoolkey

I'd like to try this one to get started with the backend if you think it's beginner friendly.

It'll be a challenge, but doable in 1-7 days after getting acquainted with the code. You should be familiar with Linux and Docker if you want to take this task.
