Variables when installing Docker Apps

[teh0wner]

Greetings,

Installed unRAID yesterday and I'm thoroughly impressed, however, I've got a question with regards to using Docker apps.

Coming from docker-compose, I could create an .env file, where I could stick in 'common stuff' and use via variables in docker-compose.yml. For example my .env could look like :

PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ="London/Europe"

 

and use that throughout docker-compose.yml as such :

  organizr:
    container_name: organizr
    hostname: organizr
    restart: always
    image: lsiocommunity/organizr
    volumes:
      - ${ROOT}/Docker/organizr:/config
      - ${ROOT}/Docker/shared:/shared
    ports:
      - "9000:80"
    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}

Is there a way I can achieve the same in unRAID?

Thanks

No problem - the Docker GUI supports adding variables when configuring a container.   Obviously you then need the container to internally make use of these variables.

Hi there,

 

Could you tell me how can I create that .env file in Unraid? I mean, of course I can do it on the terminal, but do I need to have any consideretions first?

 

Does it need to be at any specific location? And what about permissions?

 

Thank you!
