How to Pass an Environment Variable to the Docker Container

[ZuluPilgrim]

I tried using sudo docker run -e PWPUSH_MASTER_KEY=0c110f7f9d93d2122f36debf8a24bf835f33f248681714776b336849b801f693 (with a key from the helper tool) but got the following error

"docker run" requires at least 1 argument.

As I meet this requirement, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a better way to do this or how do I correct the above?

If you have a lot of environment variables to set, you can use a Docker environment file.

So either do modifications via environment variables or a custom settings.yml.

The specific problem with the command you posted above is that the -e option is used when launching a container. There was no container specified on the command line.

Here's another command line example with an environment variable:

docker run -d --env PWP__DEFAULT_LOCALE=nl -p "5100:5100" pglombardo/pwpush-ephemeral:release

I know this is a lot of information and Docker isn't the easiest software in the world. But after some time, I'm sure you'll get it. Once Docker is understood and is working, it's extremely reliable.

Ok, so I can simply add it to my custom settings.yml file. I thought I was limited to just what was originally in it. As I have that working, I will put it there.

Thanks

Environment variables work when you have a few but settings.yml is better for many changes. You can mix and match. Environment variables override any settings in settings.yml.

Considering

sudo docker run -d --env PWPUSH_MASTER_KEY=98c3333333333333 --mount type=bind, source=/home/sysadmin/pwdpusher/settings.yml,target=/opt/PasswordPusher/config/settings.yml -p "5100:5100" -v /home/sysadmin/pwdpusher/logos:/opt/PasswordPusher/public/logos pglombardo/pwpush-ephemeral:release

To put PWPUSH_MASTER_KEY=98c3333333333333 into Settings, do I just change it to PWPUSH_MASTER_KEY: 98c3333333333333

PWPUSH_MASTER_KEY is only configurable via environment variable currently.

For the life of me I can't get the solar theme to work I just downloaded my docker image on Friday.
docker run -d -p "5100:5100" -v /opt/pwpush/logos:/opt/PasswordPusher/public/logos --mount type=bind,source=/opt/pwpush/yaml/settings.yml,target=/opt/PasswordPusher/config/settings.yml --env PWP__THEME=solar pwpush-local

Do I need to put the theme directive in a different place on the command string?

[CBB3810]

Please allow me to remove my foot from my mouth. I apologize in advance for the post. I see your documentation now as to how to apply a theme. I didn't see it prior to posting.

[pglombardo]

Thanks for posting @CBB3810. For everyone else coming here, when configuring a theme using PWP__THEME, you also have to set PWP_PRECOMPILE=true to force asset recompilation. See the documentation here: https://github.com/pglombardo/PasswordPusher/blob/master/Configuration.md#configuring-a-theme

Make sure to set both PWP__THEME and PWP_PRECOMPILE for the selected theme to work.
