I am using Docker to containerize my React application, which I build using Vite. Locally I can use import.meta.env.VARIABLE_NAME
to access environment variables in my .env
file. When I deploy this to App Platform, though, the environment variables don’t work.
Here’s my nginx.conf file:
server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
}
Here’s the relevant part of my Dockerfile:
FROM nginx:1.23.3-alpine AS runner
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=installer /app/apps/web/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
# RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY deploy/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]
In my app spec I define environment variables like this, but it’s not actually setting them in Vite/Nginx.
envs:
- key: VITE_API_URL
scope: RUN_TIME
value: ${api.PUBLIC_URL}
I’m wondering what the solution for this is?

Hi there,
I believe that you would need to set the scope of the variable to
BUILD_TIME
and not only run time.That way the variable will be available during the build process of your Docker image and should be passed to the
vite build
.Let me know how it goes!
Best,
