Sending private environment variables via `coiled run` command

[andersy005]

Per documentation, one can send private environment variables via the .send_private_envs() method.

cluster = coiled.Cluster(...)
cluster.send_private_envs({"AUTH_TOKEN_FOR_CUSTOM_DATABASE": "some-token"})

now, i'm wondering if there is a way to use this option with the coiled run .... command. specifically, i'd like to specify the AUTH_TOKEN_FOR_CUSTOM_DATABASE when invoking coiled run .....

for instance, currently, my command looks like this:

coiled run --container quay.io/ORG/CONTAINER  bash main.sh 

i'm curious to know if there are any other better alternatives available at the moment.

Hi Anderson! We don't have this at the moment, but I think we can add it pretty quickly (likely by tomorrow).

Probably it would look like this: coiled run --env FOO=bar ....

Does that sound good?

[andersy005]

that would be perfect 🎉 thank you for your prompt response, @dchudz

@andersy005 --env FOO=bar was just included on our end. We release most days, so the new option will most likely be out by tomorrow (I'll ping this issue when things are out)

@andersy005 you can try it now with pip install coiled==0.9.38.dev13
