This is working as expected, rustc-env only sets the var during compilation

https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#rustc-env

As such, its retrievable with the compile time env! macro but not in runtime

If you have the envvar in your current shell/session you need to tell Docker to import it.

Im going to close this issue, if you feel like this is not correct or if you want some clarification please tell me! 😄
