Configure environment variables

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Cloud Run:

   Go to Cloud Run

2. Click Deploy container and select Service to configure a new service. If you are configuring an existing service, click the service, then click Edit and deploy new revision.

3. If you are configuring a new service, fill out the initial service settings page, then click Container(s), volumes, networking, security to expand the service configuration page.

4. Click the Container tab.

   

   • Click Add Variable to add a new variable, and specify the name you want for the variable, and its value in the Name and Value fields.

5. Click Create or Deploy.

gcloud

You can specify environment variables while deploying a service, or update them after the service is created:

To specify environment variables while deploying your service, use the --set-env-vars flag:

gcloud run deploy SERVICE --image IMAGE_URL --set-env-vars KEY1=VALUE1,KEY2=VALUE2

Replace:

• SERVICE with the name of your service.
• KEY1=VALUE1,KEY2=VALUE2, with the comma separated list of variable names and values.
• IMAGE_URL with a reference to the container image, for example, us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/hello:latest. If you use Artifact Registry, the repository REPO_NAME must already be created. The URL has the shape LOCATION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_ID/REPO_NAME/PATH:TAG .

YAML

1. If you are creating a new service, skip this step. If you are updating an existing service, download its YAML configuration:

   gcloud run services describe SERVICE --format export > service.yaml

2. Update the name and value attributes under the env attribute under containers::

   apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     name: SERVICE
   spec:
     template:
       metadata:
         name: REVISION
       spec:
         containers:
         - image: IMAGE
           env:
           - name: KEY-1
             value: VALUE-1
           - name: KEY-N
             value: VALUE-N

   Replace

   • SERVICE with the name of your Cloud Run service
   • IMAGE_URL with a reference to the container image, for example, us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/hello:latest. If you use Artifact Registry, the repository REPO_NAME must already be created. The URL has the shape LOCATION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_ID/REPO_NAME/PATH:TAG
   • KEY-1, VALUE-1 with the environment variable and value. Optionally add more variables and values as desired.
   • REVISION with a new revision name or delete it (if present). If you supply a new revision name, it must meet the following criteria:
     • Starts with SERVICE-
     • Contains only lowercase letters, numbers and -
     • Does not end with a -
     • Does not exceed 63 characters

3. Create or update the service using the following command:

   gcloud run services replace service.yaml

Terraform

To learn how to apply or remove a Terraform configuration, see Basic Terraform commands.

The following google_cloud_run_v2_service resource specifies sets the foo environment variable to bar, and the baz environment variable to quux. Update the environment variables as desired for your specific needs:

resource "google_cloud_run_v2_service" "default" {
  name     = "cloudrun-service-env-var"
  location = "us-central1"

  deletion_protection = false # set to "true" in production

  template {
    containers {
      image = "us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/hello"

      # Environment variables
      env {
        name  = "foo"
        value = "bar"
      }
      env {
        name  = "baz"
        value = "quux"
      }
    }
  }
