Need help environment variables not working inside docker when running with compose

[Raimond56]

Hello,

I need some help how to get this working.

I am trying to use environment variables inside docker compose and file loader for targets.

This is what I am running with docker compose:

  gnmic:
    image: harbor.srv.rmv/ghcr/openconfig/gnmic:latest
    container_name: gnmic
    volumes:
      - ./gnmic/gnmic.yaml:/gnmic.yaml
      - ./gnmic/targets.yaml:/targets.yaml
      - ./gnmic/certs:/certs:ro
      - ./gnmic:/gnmic:rw
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    command: "subscribe --config gnmic.yaml"
    networks:
      - monitoring-network
    ports:
      - 9804:9804

Inside .env file I have defined 1 variable
SRX_PASS=testpw

When I run "sudo docker exec gnmic env"
It does sees the env variable.

Inside gnmic.conf I have this loader conf

loader:
  type: file
  expand-env: true
  path: targets.yaml
  interval: 60s

Inside targets file I have this

srx-firewall:
  address: 10.10.10.5:50051
  subscriptions:
    - junos
  password: ${SRX_PASS}

This setup works without docker. But when running this docker compose the authentication fails.
