Hi folks,
In this post I briefly go over how to set environment variables in your docker container which is managed by a docker-compose.yaml file.
You can use the env_file flag. Suppose you set environment variables in a file .env, you can read environment variables into a container, service_name as follows:
services:
service_name:
container_name: service_name
...
env_file:
- .env
That’s all for now. Till next time, happy software development.
