title: Declare default environment variables in file
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Compose supports declaring default environment variables in an environment file
|
|
named `.env` placed in the folder where the `docker-compose` command is executed
|
|
*(current working directory)*.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax rules
|
|
|
|
These syntax rules apply to the `.env` file:
|
|
|
|
* Compose expects each line in an `env` file to be in `VAR=VAL` format.
|
|
* Lines beginning with `#` are processed as comments and ignored.
|
|
* Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
* There is no special handling of quotation marks. This means that
|
|
**they are part of the VAL**.
|
|
|
|
## Compose file and CLI variables
|
|
|
|
The environment variables you define here are used for
|
|
[variable substitution](/compose/compose-file/index.md#variable-substitution)
|
|
in your Compose file, and can also be used to define the following
|
|
[CLI variables](/compose/reference/envvars.md):
|
|
|
|
- `COMPOSE_API_VERSION`
|
|
- `COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS`
|
|
- `COMPOSE_FILE`
|
|
- `COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT`
|
|
- `COMPOSE_TLS_VERSION`
|
|
- `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME`
|
|
- `DOCKER_CERT_PATH`
|
|
- `DOCKER_HOST`
|
|
- `DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY`
|
|
|
|
> **Notes**
|
|
>
|
|
> * Values present in the environment at runtime always override those defined
|
|
> inside the `.env` file. Similarly, values passed via command-line arguments
|
|
> take precedence as well.
|
|
> * Environment variables defined in the `.env` file are not automatically
|
|
> visible inside containers. To set container-applicable environment variables,
|
|
> follow the guidelines in the topic
|
|
> [Environment variables in Compose](/compose/environment-variables.md), which
|
|
> describes how to pass shell environment variables through to containers,
|
|
> define environment variables in Compose files, and more.
