For security reasons - and as per [docker recommendations](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/13490) - Dockerfile-based deploys have variables available *only* during runtime, as noted in [this issue](https://github.com/dokku/dokku/issues/1860). > Note: Global `ENV` files are sourced before app-specific `ENV` files. This means that app-specific variables will take precedence over global variables. Configuring your global `ENV` file is manual, and should be considered potentially dangerous as configuration applies to all applications.
