env

env <NAME> {value <VALUE>}|{encrypted [plaintext <VALUE>|ciphertext <VALUE>]}

no env <NAME> {value <VALUE>}|{encrypted {plaintext|ciphertext}<VALUE>}

Description

Configures an environment variable for a container that is composed of a key and a value pair. The key-value pair defines the behavior of the environment in a container and is used by the container processes. The value of the environment variable can be stored in the host system as an encrypted value. The container manager infrastructure provides the decrypted value to the container.

The no form of this command removes the configured environment variable from a container.

Parameter	Description
<NAME>	Specifies the name of the container environment variables.
value <VALUE>	Specifies the variable value.
encrypted	Encrypts the environment variable value. If you press <enter> after the encrypted parameter, you will enter a variable configuration mode that allows you to securely enter a hidden value. This is the recommended method for entering an encrypted variable
plaintext <VALUE>	Optional. Specifies the variable value in plain text. Not recommended for encrypted variables.
ciphertext <VALUE>	Optional. Specifies the variable value as previously encrypted text. Recommended for encrypted variables; specify the encrypted variable value as previously encrypted text.
