How do I set default environment variables in Docker?
You can set default environment variables in Docker using the ENV
instruction in your Dockerfile.

Sure! In your Dockerfile, you can write: ENV MY_VAR=my_value
to set MY_VAR
to my_value
.
What if I want to override this variable when running the container?
You can override it by using the -e
flag with docker run
, like this: docker run -e MY_VAR=new_value your_image
.
Are there any best practices for using environment variables in Docker?
