docker run passing command line params as config file

Question

In docker-compose there is a .env file which can hold all the properties of used in docker-compose.yml

Is there an equivalent of that in docker run command? I have exhausted the docs and forums but couldn't find any answers.

Here is what I am looking for: Rather than docker run -v /dir1:/dir1 -v /dir2:dir2 -p 80:80 repo/image

run docker run -config config.yml repo/image' with config.yml file holding all the property mappings

Answer 1

One option could be to have the parameters stored in a file and just get the string of the file using cat:

docker run $(cat config.file) repo/image

Where config.file content should be something like:

-v /dir1:/dir1 -v /dir2:dir2 -p 80:80
