## Define an environment variable for a container
|
||||
|
||||
When you create a Pod, you can set environment variables for the containers
|
||||
that run in the Pod. To set environment variables, include the `env` or
|
||||
`envFrom` field in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
In this exercise, you create a Pod that runs one container. The configuration
|
||||
file for the Pod defines an environment variable with name `DEMO_GREETING` and
|
||||
value `"Hello from the environment"`. Here is the configuration file for the
|
||||
Pod:
|
||||
|
||||
{{< code file="envars.yaml" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a Pod based on the YAML configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/envars.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
1. List the running Pods:
|
||||
|
||||
kubectl get pods -l purpose=demonstrate-envars
|
||||
|
||||
The output is similar to this:
|
||||
|
||||
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
|
||||
envar-demo 1/1 Running 0 9s
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get a shell to the container running in your Pod:
|
||||
|
||||
kubectl exec -it envar-demo -- /bin/bash
|
||||
|
||||
1. In your shell, run the `printenv` command to list the environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
root@envar-demo:/# printenv
|
||||
|
||||
The output is similar to this:
|
||||
|
||||
NODE_VERSION=4.4.2
|
||||
EXAMPLE_SERVICE_PORT_8080_TCP_ADDR=10.3.245.237
|
||||
HOSTNAME=envar-demo
|
||||
...
|
||||
DEMO_GREETING=Hello from the environment
|
||||
DEMO_FAREWELL=Such a sweet sorrow
|
||||
|
||||
1. To exit the shell, enter `exit`.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
**Note:** The environment variables set using the `env` or `envFrom` field
|
||||
will override any environment variables specified in the container image.
