Make environment variables available in flist container

This is the Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:20.04
RUN echo deb http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted universe multiverse >> /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive TZ=Europe/Belgium apt-get install -y openssh-client openssh-server && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
COPY init.sh /init.sh
RUN chmod +x /init.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["/init.sh"]

with init.sh:

#!/bin/bash

export TEST='TEST'
export USER_ID=$USER_ID

mkdir -p ~/.ssh
mkdir -p /var/run/sshd
echo $SSH_KEY >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D
