Feature: Support static env config from file #687

Closed

Description

@Tranquility2

What are you trying to do?

Add missing implementation of docker run --env-file <file> ...

Why should it be done this way?

Users should not be required to load each env var manually if they have an env file.
(this is the common case for quite a few services)

For example, if I would have an Redis service with some config:

# Redis Bike Commpany Demo Application: Example .env file.
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/?decode_responses=True
BIKE_INDEX_NAME="idx:bikes"
STORE_INDEX_NAME="idx:stores"
REDIS_KEY_BASE="redisbikeco"
BIKE_KEY_BASE="redisbikeco:bike"
STORE_KEY_BASE="redisbikeco:store"
FLASK_ENV=development

We would now be able to load it without evoking with_env 7 times + keeping a single source of truth for the env config.
