Buil docker with environment variables

Hi,

I try to build a docker from github repo:https://github.com/weaviate/multi2vec-clip-inference. And I setup env variables but I have the error:

2025-03-31 18:51:46 [INFO] > [8/9] RUN ./download.py:
2025-03-31 18:51:46 [INFO] 2.112 ERROR:root:Fatal: TEXT_MODEL_NAME is required

How can I enable env variables at build?

Thanks,

You can write them inside your Dockerfile for a quick fix, I remember Runpod had this on their roadmap like couple months ago

Yeah we're stuck because of this as well. Unfortunately we need to add HF api keys to download the models and writing this in the dockerfile is not an option!

Eren•4/4/25, 11:30 AM

Your only option is building the docker image, pushing to dockerhub, and pulling from there

Try github actions with their secrets feature.

How could this works ?

We don't have any access to the Github Actions workflows, we can't set up the .env variables in the workflows

I hope, this is a must, I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for this

In github actions you can get the api keys from the github secrets where you can store them securely (they do not appear on your repository)

Yes, but with the current Runpods configuration, we don't have access to the Github actions worflows, it is on Runpods side

riverfog7•4/7/25, 9:38 PM

Lol

riverfog7•4/7/25, 9:55 PM

I meant not to use runpod for the image building process until they release that feature

Thierry•5/6/25, 3:11 PM

@PRB Still no ETA on the env variables for github deployment?

Dj•5/7/25, 6:40 PM

I think this came out recently? Let me check

Dj•5/7/25, 6:40 PM

I know I've seen it.

Dj•5/7/25, 6:42 PM

@Thierry

DDj I think this came out recently? Let me check

Jason•5/8/25, 12:48 AM

Oh wait whaaat I didn't notice it

DDj @Thierry 😄

Jason•5/8/25, 12:49 AM

Ah and what does it mean to be public facing?, if we use secrets is not public right?

Eren•5/8/25, 6:30 AM

@Dj not popping out on my interface

Let me make sure this isn't feature flagged or something and I didn't just casually leak this

but yeah, im still not sure of what this means

sloreti•11/23/25, 3:23 AM

@Dj Sorry to revive an old thread, but curious if there are any updates here? I still don't see Build Args available in my UI. Is the preferred workaround still to push to an image registry and skip the GH integration?
