Thus, if you run “bash” (or “bash --login”?) in there, /etc/profile is automatically sourced, which solves the problem, I think. But it’s not very convenient. > Is it possible to directly have the profile under /etc/ ? > Other said, how to correctly expose the environment variables ? Perhaps we should populate the ‘Environment’ bit of the Docker manifest file? It sounds like it would greatly improve things. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
