Passing the `kong-url` when in docker-compose

I am trying to use this in a dockerfile of my own making, and being very new to docker, I am struggling to figure out how to pass kong-url into the container.

Here is what I have so far, specific to the dashboard (the dependencies are also defined, but not relevant):

  kong-dashboard:
    image: pgbi/kong-dashboard
    container_name: kong-dashboard
    restart: on-failure
    depends_on:
      kong:
        condition: service_healthy
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

I've tried looking for an answer and the best I found was to add this (as in your repository's compose config):

    build:
      context: .
      args:
        kong-url: http://kong:8001

This has no effect when not using your repository, and trying this separately. My container simply keeps cycling the following error:

kong-dashboard    | bin/kong-dashboard.js <cmd> [args]
kong-dashboard    | 
kong-dashboard    | Commands:
kong-dashboard    |   start  Start serving Kong Dashboard
kong-dashboard    | 
kong-dashboard    | Options:
kong-dashboard    |   -v, --verbose  Increase kong-dashboard command line verbosity        [boolean]
kong-dashboard    |   --help         Show help                                             [boolean]
kong-dashboard    |   --version      Show version number                                   [boolean]
kong-dashboard    | 
kong-dashboard    | Examples:
kong-dashboard    |   bin/kong-dashboard.js start \             Start Kong Dashboard on default port
kong-dashboard    |   --kong-url http://kong:8001               8080
kong-dashboard    | 
kong-dashboard    |   bin/kong-dashboard.js start \             Start Kong Dashboard on port 8888
kong-dashboard    |   --kong-url http://kong:8001 \
kong-dashboard    |   --port 8888
kong-dashboard    | 
kong-dashboard    |   bin/kong-dashboard.js start \             Start Kong Dashboard on port 8080.
kong-dashboard    |   --kong-url http://kong:8001 \             Protect it with basic auth. Define
kong-dashboard    |   --basic-auth u1=p1 u2=p2                  two users, "u1" with password "p1"
kong-dashboard    |                                             and "u2" with password "p2"

I'll bet you can show me how stupid I'm being very quickly...

Answering my own question here:

Not easy to find this out, but adding the following instead of any build stuff works:

    command: start --kong-url http://kong:8001
