Question 82250 in Docker Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Getting "docker: open .env: permission denied." when trying to pass a .env file to docker run

I have no problems running the test "Hello World" image.

But when I try to pass the --env-file variable as part of my docker run command I am getting docker: open .env: permission denied.

I have tried granting full permissions on my .env file but not joy still.

The command I am running is docker run --network host --env-file .env <IMAGE_ID>

Any help appreciated
