Accessing Container Environment Variables
I recently had an issue where I needed to debug a Sitecore instance running in a Docker container. I needed to access the environment variables of the container, but didn't have access to the cluster to see the values. So I had to figure out a way to list out the variables that had been used to setup the container, enter Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE).
SPE to the rescue!
I turns out that having access to run SPE scripts made this super easy. At first the ouput was being truncated which wasn't much use, but after a few tweaks I was able to get the output I needed with the following command:
gci env: | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize
Hope that helps anyone else who needs to find out the values for the environment variables powering a Sitecore container, when you don't have access to the back end!
