Accessing Elastic Beanstalk environment properties in Docker

Question

So I\'ve been looking around for an example of how I can specify environment variables for my Docker container from the AWS EB web interface. Typically in EB you can add env

Answer 1

I've needed to pass environment variable in moment docker run using Elastic Beanstalk, but, is not allowed put this information in Dockerrun.aws.json.

Below the steps to resolve this scenario:

1. Create a folder .ebextensions
2. Create a .config file in the folder
3. Fill the .config file:

option_settings:
-option_name: VARIABLE_NAME value: VARIABLE_VALUE

4. Zip the folder .ebextensions file along with the Dockerrun.aws.json plus Dockerfile and upload it to Beanstalk

To see the result, inside EC2 instance, execute the command "docker inspect CONTAINER_ID" and will see the environment variable.
