If you have lots of environmental variables that need to be set when starting a docker image via CLI then --env-file argument might be a good fit.
Let's assume that you have an .env file with the following variables
WEB_API_ROOT=https://api.example.com
You can easily include it when running it like this:
docker run --env-file ./.env example-image:latest
Happy running docker!
