Docker Set environment variables in ubuntu cant access through php getenv – Apache

I’ve created a Docker container with an Ubuntu base image. Setting the environment variables through a .env file. When running the container, I can see the variables being passed through using the shell terminal.

I want to able to get the env varibles in my wp-config. I am using getenv but it is not working..

Any suggestions..

Thanks

    Both previous answers, I could already pass the env variables to my apache environment served by docker. I just needed to add Pass env_name to the .htaccess file for each env variable.

    I could then get the values via the $SERVER['env_name'] within my php application..

    You can set the environment variable for your docker container in 2 ways

    1. In docker run command use docker run -e VARIABLE=VALUE ...

    2. In docker-compose file you can set in like:

        environment:
    - DEBUG=1

    You use .env file, so you certainly use docker-compose. If not use docker-compose, .env will not make effect. And the .env file must be placed in the directory where docker-compose is run from.

    Whole solution could be something like:

    .env

    MY_VARIABLE=abc

    docker-compose.yml

    version: '3'
services:
  my_service:
    environment:
      - MY_VARIABLE="${MY_VARIABLE}"

    wp-config.php

    echo getenv('MY_VARIABLE');

    I guess you did not get env because you did not do - MY_VARIABLE="${MY_VARIABLE}" in docker-compose.yml, the value in .env will not be automatically act as an environment variable to container, you need to handle it in compose file. FYI.
