open ../.env: no such file or directory (Docker Image build)

[Ndeta100]

I get this error when I build and publish my docker image then I try to pull and run it locally or on a vm with coolify. I have added my env as github secrets for the builf process but I still get the same error, even after adding the env variables to coolify. It suggested I neeet to comment out godotenv.Load(), but still same issue. Anyone can help?

func init() { if err := godotenv.Load(); err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } }

Probably you have placed the .env file in the wrong directory.
For an example, here is my file and folder structure:

│   .env
│   .env.test
│   go.mod
│   go.sum
│   readme.md
│   
├───cmd
│   ├───api
│   │       main.go

I have used the godotenv.Load(file_path) in the main.go file. Here is my code:
godotenv.Load("../../.env")

Environment variables must be passed when running the docker run command. It is a bad practice to include the .env file in the Docker image.
Now suppose you have created an image and pushed it to Docker Hub — anyone can then get access to your secret key.
The godotenv.Load() function looks for the .env file inside the Docker image itself, which no one would dare to include in the image.
Instead of doing this i found that os.Getenv("JWT_SECRET") is useful. now whenever i run the container i can pass the environment variable and it working really good.

I am also searching for solutions.
