Docker环境变量问题

Question

Docker环境变量问题，比如，在Docker Hub上下载了一个nginx镜像，现在要把我自己的配置文件用上去，看到说可以有三种方式：
1、用环境变量传递配置。
2、用数据卷，把配置文件放到数据卷中。
3、修改镜像，保存为新的镜像。

现在，我想采用第1种方法，文档中关于环境变量的内容如下：

可是怎么配置，仍然有点不清楚。

Answer 1

谁告诉你环境变量可以用于传输配置文件了…
可以用环境变量的意思是，有些软件既能识别环境变量中提供的配置，又能识别文件形式的配置，不过，很不幸，Nginx不在此列。

以wget为例，当设定HTTP代理时，可以选用以下任一方式：

• 在配置文件中加一行http_proxy = http://example.com/xxx

• 将系统环境变量$http_proxy设定为http://example.com/xxx

两种方法的作用是相同的。

当然，你可以在Docker容器里写一个Shell脚本，根据环境变量来修改配置文件的内容，但这就是另一个话题了。Github上有不少实现类似功能的工具，如Tiller。

Answer 2

哦，在启动容器的时候要带参数，比如：
./docker run --detach --name wordpress --net wordnet --publish 80:80 --env WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=mysql --env WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx wordpress:4.4

当然在容器启动命令里要处理带进来的参数：

cat /entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -e

if [[ "" == apache2* ]] || [ "" == php-fpm ]; then
    if [ -n "$MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP" ]; then
        if [ -z "$WORDPRESS_DB_HOST" ]; then
            WORDPRESS_DB_HOST='mysql'
        else
            echo >&2 'warning: both WORDPRESS_DB_HOST and MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP found'
            echo >&2 "  Connecting to WORDPRESS_DB_HOST ($WORDPRESS_DB_HOST)"
            echo >&2 '  instead of the linked mysql container'
        fi
    fi

    if [ -z "$WORDPRESS_DB_HOST" ]; then
        echo >&2 'error: missing WORDPRESS_DB_HOST and MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP environment variables'
        echo >&2 '  Did you forget to --link some_mysql_container:mysql or set an external db'
        echo >&2 '  with -e WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=hostname:port?'
        exit 1
    fi

    # if we're linked to MySQL and thus have credentials already, let's use them
    : ${WORDPRESS_DB_USER:=${MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_USER:-root}}
    if [ "$WORDPRESS_DB_USER" = 'root' ]; then
        : ${WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD:=$MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
    fi
    : ${WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD:=$MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_PASSWORD}
    : ${WORDPRESS_DB_NAME:=${MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_DATABASE:-wordpress}}

    if [ -z "$WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD" ]; then
        echo >&2 'error: missing required WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD environment variable'
        echo >&2 '  Did you forget to -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=... ?'
        echo >&2
        echo >&2 '  (Also of interest might be WORDPRESS_DB_USER and WORDPRESS_DB_NAME.)'
        exit 1

        echo >&2 "Complete! WordPress has been successfully copied to $(pwd)"
