I have a nodeJS api services and .env file with some configuration.
Currently, in my local environment I can run my service. I read the .env file on startup and access the value via process.env.name command
const myEnv = dotenv.config({ path: path.resolve(path.join(__dirname, '/configuration/.env')) });
dotenvExpand(myEnv);This is my setting in my deployment yaml file
envFrom:

Thanks
No need to change your code which refer to the .env file. Since you have created the ConfigMap, you can then mount it to the correct path that your code expected it to be.
Create the ConfigMap:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: env
data:
.env: |
key=valueUse it in the pod:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: busybox
labels:
app: busybox
spec:
volumes:
- name: env
configMap:
name: env
containers:
- name: busybox
image: busybox
command:
- sh
- -c
- while :; do cat /configuration/.env; sleep 1; done
volumeMounts:
- name: env
mountPath: /configuration # update this path to the path your app expectsA simple usage above is output the .env content every second.
