Disable loading .env file

[shyim]

Feature Request

Right now process compose loads the project .env file and makes it impossible to change any configuration while the processes are running.

I would like to have a flag in the configuration to disable this behavior. I set all relevant environment variables already before calling process compose

Hi,

I can provide an argument and an environment variable to disable the .env loading.
Do you think it will work for you?

[F1bonacc1]

Just so you know, process-compose (with .env file) doesn't override env variables that already exist.

I want that my application reads the .env and so I can change the environment variable without restarting process compose

[F1bonacc1]

That makes sense.
Will the process compose argument to disable .env loading help you then?

[shyim]

yes or in the config file in the root level maybe :)
