Elastic Beanstalk environment variables for Docker host

Question

I have an EB env with Docker web app (rails) properly deployed. I set several EB env variables and they are properly visible in the container. Now - I\'d like these EB env varia

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue, but needed the environment variables to be available during the execution of a post-deployment Bash script.

Since the jq parser is available on the (current) Amazon Linux AMIs, I was able to acheive something similar using it to parse the JSON and then export the environment variables on the host (this is an excerpt from an ebextensions config file):

files:
  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/export_env_vars_on_host.sh":
  mode: "000755"
  owner: root
  group: root
  content: |
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    echo Defaults:root \!requiretty >> /etc/sudoers
    for envvar in `jq '.optionsettings | {"aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment"}[] | .[]' /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deploy/configuration/containerconfiguration`
    do
      temp="${envvar#\"}";
      temp="${temp/=/=\"}";
      export temp;
    done
