Docker agent configuration

This reference describes the various configuration options Dagster+ currently supports for Docker agents.

Environment variables and secrets​

Using the docker.env_vars property in container_context.yaml, you can include environment variables and secrets in the Docker container associated with a specific code location. For example:

# container_context.yaml
docker:
  env_vars:
    - DATABASE_NAME
    - DATABASE_USERNAME=hooli_testing

The docker.env_vars property is a list, where each item can be either KEY or KEY=VALUE. If only KEY is specified, the value will be pulled from the local environment.

Refer to the following guides for more info about environment variables:
