What are Docker variables and how do I use them?
Docker variables, also known as environment variables, are used to configure settings in your Docker containers. You can set them in your Dockerfile or when you run a container.
Can you give me an example of how to set an environment variable in a Dockerfile?
Sure! You can use the ENV
instruction in your Dockerfile. For example: ENV MY_VAR=my_value
sets the variable MY_VAR
to my_value
.
How do I access these variables in my application running inside the container?
You can access environment variables in your application using the language-specific method. For example, in Python, you can use os.environ['MY_VAR']
.
Is there a way to override these variables when I run the container?
Yes, you can override environment variables using the -e
flag with the docker run
command. For example: docker run -e MY_VAR=new_value my_image
.
