+- `type=mount|env`    : How the secret will be exposed to the container.
+                        `mount` mounts the secret into the container as a file.
+                        `env` exposes the secret as a environment variable.
+                        Defaults to `mount`.
+- `target=target`     : Target of secret.
+                        For mounted secrets, this is the path to the secret inside the container.
+                        If a fully qualified path is provided, the secret will be mounted at that location.
+                        Otherwise, the secret will be mounted to `/run/secrets/target`.
+                        If target is not set, by default the secret will be mounted to `/run/secrets/secretname`.
+                        For env secrets, this is the environment variable key. Defaults to `secretname`.
 - `uid=0`             : UID of secret. Defaults to 0. Mount secret type only.
 - `gid=0`             : GID of secret. Defaults to 0. Mount secret type only.
 - `mode=0`            : Mode of secret. Defaults to 0444. Mount secret type only.
