Deploy on Meteor galaxy server with bitbucket and deployment token as variable

Question

Hello I want to use the automatic deploymen on bitbucket to the galaxy server with a deployment token.

For this reason I am creating a deployment token that is comitted in the repository.

https://galaxy-guide.meteor.com/deploy-guide.html#deployment-token

To strenghten the security I would like to use Repository variables in bitbucket pipelines:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/environment-variables-794502608.html

And to store the deployment token of meteor in the variables instead in file.

For the deployment we use in the command:

METEOR_SESSION_FILE=deployment_token.json

And my question is - Is there any way so that I use some variable(string) where the token is used like

METEOR_SESSION_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN=$METEOR_TOKEN

instead to call it from a file?

Some research, after having the same problem, brought me to this article, which simply solves the problem that you can't feed meteor just the json in an env var in the following simple way:

By adding the json file content as an env var and then echoes it out into a file on deploy.

echo $METEOR_TOKEN_FILE > deploy_token.json
METEOR_SESSION_FILE=deploy_token.json
