The new backupbot can take as RESTIC_REPO any kind of URL. For REST server the password is part of the URL:
rest:https://user:SECRET_PASSWORD@host:8000/
Therefore there should be a way to hide the password inside a secret.

A simple and general way (independent of the repository type) would be to use a compose overwrite to add an optional secret that contains the whole RESTIC_REPO URL.
