Has anyone got an example of using `pulumi confg set --secret` with a multi-line value? I see the note that it needs to be catted (not echoed?) in via a pipe. But when I do that, only the first line is being encrypted and kept; the rest of the file is ignored.

i think i cover this in my book! let me see make sure it still works :slightly_smiling_face:

```$ echo "some                   
multi-line
string" | pulumi config set some_string --secret```

```$ pulumi config get some_string    
some
multi-line
string```

Yea, that's what I'm doing. But then `pulumi config get some_string` is showing only "some".

I'm also getting this on each step:
&gt; WARN[0000] The input device is not a TTY. The --tty and --interactive flags might not work properly 

Now that I think of it, it may be to do with the fact that this is containerized. Pulumi isn't running on my host machine.

yeah i’m no expert here, but that sounds plausible

Fancy adding a chapter on all the hoops you need to jump through in order to run Pulumi without installing it (or node, or anything else...)?

:grimacing: :joy: i actually haven’t tried that, but i should

Tried removing the `-it` flags from podman. That made the above warning go away (nice), but now the value is just a newline... no "some multi-line string" any more!

Aha! Got it. I need --interactive but not --tty.

Makes sense, I guess. The input is a file, not a terminal.
