There are cases where adding a custom file to a deployment would be very helpful, for example to add a logo or overwrite a special config file, that might not make sense to fully represent in the .env file (e.g. custom css files, extensive configs as with mediawiki).

A good solution would be to provide a simple list with source:target in .env. Source files should be found relative to the servers/<domain>/ folder, as you'd probably store it in git with the cc configs.

This is my workaround, though I don't find it very elegant:

Additional files:

$ ls ~/.abra/servers/<domain>/<app_name>/
compose.yml
logo.svg

In <domain>.env:

COMPOSE_FILE="compose.yml:../../servers/<domain>/<app_name>/compose.yml"

In ~/.abra/servers/<domain>/<app_name>/compose.yml:

version: '3.8'

services:
  app:
    configs:
      - source: logo
        target: /path/to/logo.svg

configs:
  logo:
    name: logo_v1
    file: ../../servers/<domain>/<app_name>/logo.svg

The upside of this method is being able to add anything I'd want without modifying the recipe.
