Docker run with env-file and volume mounting

[Jorman]

Description

Sorry for posting here, I know this is not a compose related issue, I searched if there was a better place but couldn't find anything.
I've been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of days to get this docker run to work, I don't know if I'm wrong or it's a limitation to which nothing can be done
I cant use a docker-composeso I have to use the classicdocker run, however I cant assign the variable to the volume, for example

docker run --env-file /docker-config/compose/global.env ubuntu env
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
HOSTNAME=e4ffe5fc2de1
PUID=1000
PGID=100
TZ=Europe/Rome
DOCKER_APPDATA=/docker-config/appdata
DATA=/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-1628c4f4-134e-4af8-b1de-829c5b1ed564
SHARING=/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-ecc70552-d999-49f3-b5e4-9a0250e1c559/Sharing
UTILITIES=/utilities
HOME=/root

Here everything is ok, the variables are read, however if I try with this

docker run --env-file /docker-config/compose/global.env -v ${SHARING}:/Sharing ubuntu env
docker: invalid spec: :/Sharing: empty section between colons.
See 'docker run --help'.

Yet in docker-compose, if you specify the variables file, you can use them to mount volumes

What am I doing wrong?

As you run docker run ... with ${..} this is your shell processing to variable interpolation. This feature is specific to docker compose and does not apply to docker CLI in general. Maybe you could use source .../global.env && docker run -v ${SHARING}:/Sharing ubuntu env
