Docker with AWS credentials stored externally

[jpvlsmv]

I store my AWS credentials far, far away from my Terraform source code, preferring per-project access keys and a profile configured via aws configure. I add 2 additional options to my docker run command:

  -v ~/.aws:/root/.aws -e AWS_PROFILE=projectprofile \

Adding the volume ~/.aws gives the scripts access to the saved keys I have, and the environment tells which one to use.

Hope this may help somebody.

This was helpful, thank you @jpvlsmv!

My setup is slightly more complex, as I'm using an organization authentication account, and then assuming account profiles; I had to add some more flags, but this got it working for me:

 -v ~/path/to/org/aws/config/file:/root/terraform/aws \
 -v ~/.aws:/root/.aws \
 -e AWS_PROFILE="account-profile=name" \
 -e AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1 \
 -e AWS_CONFIG_FILE="/root/terraform/aws/config" \
