Configure Secure Cookies via Environment variable

[pmooneyarchitech]

Be able to affect whether or not dotCMS will serve Secure Cookies (https://dotcms.com/docs/latest/cookie-use#Properties) via environment variables

In my mind, almost every variable in dotmarketing-config.properties should be overwriteable via environmental variables.

[jdotcms]

On dotCMS we have interpolation for dotmarketing-config.properties

You can do something like

property1={env:SomeEnvironmentKey}
property2={sys:SomeSystemKey}

As you can see the first one is to get the value from the environment and the second from the system, the reference is here: https://dotcms.com/docs/latest/changing-configuration-properties#References

@jdotcms That helps for my case, since I'm using the dotcms docker image as a base and building on top of it I can add those references into my dotmarketing-config.properties or dotmarketing-config-ext.properties files, and then I can turn on/off secure cookies depending on the environment without the extra overhead of having to put together a dockerize template of those files.

@wezell For people who want to just use the vanilla dotcms docker image, or just want to do less work, I think your opinion makes sense. The dotmarketing-config.properties, by default, could use string interpolation/references and the docker image provides all of the sensible default values for all of the environment variables.
