Thank you for the comments, I must think some time how to handle this.
My intention has been to generate 2 random strings in an Azure pipeline, save them as secrets in an Azure Key Vault (so that our C# ASP.Net app can fetch them when starting up in Kubernetes) and also pass them to the pipeline tasks, which would pass them as the build arg to the "docker build" command:

And then I am not done yet :-) I need to pass that random string from the Dockerfile to the 01-create-database.sql and I have tried it as env var:
But I see that the whole chain is tricky to implement and I'd like to switch from a postgres:17-alpine3.21 based Docker image to the "Azure PostgreSQL flexible server" product anyway, to have less maintenance.
