You can set Dotenv-webpack to load system environment variables as well as those you have declared in your .env file by doing the following:

  plugins: [
    new Dotenv({
        systemvars: true
    })
  ]

I.e Setting the systemvars attribute of your webpack dotenv plugin to true.

Note that system environment variables with the same name will overwrite those defined in your .env file.
