Secure Firestore credentials for a desktop app

I am creating a desktop application using python and firebase. In this app I wanted to use Firestore Database and store all the data, but, that is possible by giving the path to the privatekey.json file that I have. This might become a security issue, as this app that I am creating is open source and for linux systems which means it is not compiled and I will be packaging the source files. I don’t want to have the database deleted by some malicious entity. I would like to know if there is any method to upload the data that user provides to the database but somehow not store the privatekey.json file in plaintext on the system.
