Expose actor id in container when running Docker build

[jeanbmar]

Hey there,

Not sure this is the right place to create the issue but what I'm asking happens on your servers and is related to Docker :).

I use a monorepo with NPM workspaces, and I have issues deploying my actor because of it.

In order to selectively install my actor using npm install --workspace=my-actor, I would need the actor id to be available in the Dockerfile. Is it something you could add?

This change combined to this one https://github.com/apify/apify-cli/issues/277 would basically enable basic support for NPM workspaces monorepo.

Love the project, keep going 👍

Thanks @pocesar for answering this on Discord.

Solution:

• Tick the Apply environment variables also to build process option in console
• Store the workspace environment variable in apify.json
• Declare ARG MY_WORKSPACE in Dockerfile
