How do you provide default values for variables defined using ARG instruction in Dockerfile?
Experience Level: Senior
Tags: Docker
Answer
An ARG instruction can optionally include a default value like this:
FROM busybox
ARG user1=someuser
ARG buildno=1
# ...
If an ARG instruction has a default value and if there is no value passed at build-time, the builder uses the default.
