Deploying docker image as IBM Cloud Action with credentials

I have a small NodeJS app I want to deploy to IBM Cloud as an "action". What I've been doing until now is just zipping the project files and creating/updating actions using the IBM Cloud CLI like this:

ibmcloud fn action create project-name C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\node-js-projects\some-project\test-folder.zip --kind nodejs:12

This was working great, however I'm now testing a new project which has a much larger modules folder, and as such IBMCloud won't accept it. I've turned my attention to using Docker as the below article explains.

https://medium.com/weekly-webtips/adding-extra-npm-modules-to-ibm-cloud-functions-with-docker-fabacd5d52f1

Everything makes sense, however I have no idea what to do with the credentials that the app uses. Since IBM Cloud seems to require you to run "docker push" I'm assuming it's not safe to include a .env file in the docker image?

I know in IBM Cloud I can pass "parameters" to an action but not sure if that helps here. Can those params be accessed from a piece of code deployed this way?

Would really appreciate some help on this one. Hoping there's a straightforward standard way of doing it that I've just missed. I'm brand new to docker so still learning.
