Docker Environment Reference
1. Precedence Rules
Docker CLI `-e` flags override values defined in compose files or external `.env` configuration templates during container runtime instantiation.
2. Security Best Practices
Avoid baking sensitive API keys or database credentials directly into immutable Dockerfile layers; utilize runtime injection or Docker Secrets instead.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No. All parsing and string transformations run entirely client-side inside your local browser memory sandbox.
Values containing spaces or special shell characters should be properly quoted or encoded to ensure correct parsing by the container entrypoint.
Dockerfile
ENV persists default variables within the built image layers, whereas compose environment blocks configure runtime variables per container instance.
