Add environmental variables

[JanLauGe]

First of all, thank you for your work on this package!

I am trying to run docker containers that require environmental variables. In bash, the command would be something like docker run --env SOME_VARIABLE_1=some_value_1 --env SOME_VARIABLE_2=some_value_2 my_docker_image. However, I am strugling to make this work in harbor. I've tried the versions below to no avail. Is this supported? Where am I going wrong?

harbor::docker_run(
  image = 'my_docker_image',
  docker_opts = c(
    'SOME_VARIABLE_1' = 'some_value_1',
    'SOME_VARIABLE_2' = 'some_value_2')
  capture_text = TRUE)

harbor::docker_run(
  image = 'my_docker_image',
  docker_opts = '--env SOME_VARIABLE_1=some_value_1 --env SOME_VARIABLE_2=some_value_2)
  capture_text = TRUE)

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

Hi @JanLauGe (I hope @wch won't mind me pointing to another package, AFAIK harbor is not under active development anymore.),

have you taken a look at stevedore? https://cran.r-project.org/package=stevedore

There is an env argument in docker$container$create(..).

Cool, thanks for pointing this out!
My workaround in the meantime was to use the python module docker and the reticulate packagewhich did the trick as well. I'll definitively check outstevedore` as well, thank you!
