Environment variables not available in AWS ECS instance. about remix HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the reply @brophdawg11 ! I am setting the env vars in the task definition like it shows in the first link.

The strangest thing to me is that the envars are available in ssh and in context. Almost like node is "waiting" for them.

I am not confident this is "Remix" problem either, but a node problem. Currently I am working on generating a .env file during the container build and referencing that, which seems to be working so far. I'll report back once I have a workaround.

How are you setting the environment variable? I'm not too familiar with AWS but I found https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/taskdef-envfiles.html and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/use-environment-file.html on a quick search - are you doing either of those to set the value?

Just in case anyone stumbles on this in the future, here's my workaround.

In my github action where I'm building the docker container I inline all of the build args like this:

- name: Build, tag, and push image to Amazon ECR
        id: build-image
        run: |
          # Build a docker container and
          # push it to ECR so that it can
          # be deployed to ECS.
          docker build --progress=plain -t $ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG \
            --build-arg GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL=${{ env.GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL }} \
            .
          docker push $ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG
          echo "imageid=$ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

The important bit is the --build-arg. Then in the Dockerfile

ARG GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL
ENV GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL=${GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL}

Now GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL will be available in the app.
