Background:
Currently we're using Docker and Docker Compose for our services. We have externalized the configuration for different environments into files that define environment variables read by the application. For example a prod.env
file:
ENV_VAR_ONE=Something Prod
ENV_VAR_TWO=Something else Prod
and a test.env
file:
ENV_VAR_ONE=Something Test
ENV_VAR_TWO=Something else Test
Thus we can simply use the prod.env
or test.env
file when starting the container:
docker run --env-file prod.env <image>
Our application then picks up its configuration based on the environment variables defined in prod.env
.
