Setting Environment Variables in S2I

Question

Currently I am attempting to set an environment variable from my S2I assemble file like so

export VARIABLE=some_dynamic_value

When I actually run the container built by my builder, the environment variable does not exist. Is there a way for the builder to set environment variables dynamically?

Yes, it is. You can put it in the .s2i/environment file. Like described here:
