Deploy a stack from GitHub that using .env as env_file:

Ask a Question!

Hello there,

Im trying to deploy langflow as a stack using their Github repo, problem is that in their docker-compose.yml they have already defined
env_file:
- .env

https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/blob/dev/docker-compose.yml

So portainer fails to find the .env because the env vars that i passed to the portainer are referenced as stack.env

I know that i can clone the repo edit yml to use stack.env etc but this fails the purpose of using portainer - 3rd party github repos, with updates etc.

Portainer should allow the user to input env vars and also input the .env file name. This wasy for example i could have said to portainer that the stack env file should be named .env and it could have worked.

Maybe i missed something, lets hope the portainer experts will jump in.
