How to pass a lot of bamboo variables to a docker container?

I have the Docker configuration task and I need to execute in docker container a bash script which uses Bamboo variables.

Is there a way to pass all Bamboo variables to docker container?

I have lots of Bamboo plans with quite a few different variables in them so putting all variables in container environment variables is not an option.

Of course, I can dump them into file in one task and parse the variables from file in docker task, but I was hoping to find an easier solution.

Thanks!

You can use the env_file option using compose:

web:
  env_file:
    - your-variables.env

or use docker run --env-file=your-variables.env ....

The .env file is a simple key value text file:

# my env file
BAMBOO_ENV=development

What version of Bamboo are you using?

There are a problem with bamboo variables is docker containers in some versions of Bamboo, but was fixed in Bamboo 6.1.0:

Unable to use variables in Container name field in Run docker task

Workaround:

  • Create a Script Task that runs before the Docker Task.

  • Run commands like

    echo "export sourcepath=$ini_source_path" > scriptname.sh
chmod +x scriptname.sh

The Docker Task will be map the ${bamboo.working.directory} to the Docker \data volume.

So the just created scriptname.sh script is available in the Docker container.The script will be executed, and will set the variable correctly.
