Environment variables can be set by adding one or more arguments -e "<VAR>=<VALUE>" to the docker run command, or in your docker-compose.yml.
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
UMASK |
Mask that controls how file permissions are set for newly created files. The value of the mask is in octal notation. By default, this variable is not set and the default umask of 022 is used, meaning that newly created files are readable by everyone, but only writable by the owner. See the following online umask calculator: http://wintelguy.com/umask-calc.pl |
(unset) |
TZ |
[TimeZone] of the container. Timezone can also be set by mapping /etc/localtime between the host and the container. |
Etc/UTC |
APP_NICENESS |
Priority at which the application should run. A niceness value of -20 is the highest priority and 19 is the lowest priority. By default, niceness is not set, meaning that the default niceness of 0 is used. NOTE: A negative niceness (priority increase) requires additional permissions. In this case, the container should be run with the docker option --cap-add=SYS_NICE. |
(unset) |

When mounting docker-volumes, permission issues can arise between the docker host and the container. You can pass the User_ID permissions to the container with this variable. | 1000 |
