For security, do you do this? or do you do some weird stuff with gpg-agent etc?

It varies by machine. I take two general approaches:

• If I'm running borgmatic directly with cron, then I will put the encryption passphrase directly in the config file (with appropriate file permissions).
• If I'm using one the borgmatic Docker images, then I'll pass in a BORG_PASSPHRASE environment variable rather than putting the passphrase in the config file.
