Environment variables setup using binary version of Traefik in macOS

[jjaardrookie]

Would like to start with that via Docker everything works fine, I have no issues with Traefik, but as it eats 25% (when streaming video) of CPU on M1 Mac, so I have installed it via homebrew (in this case it uses 5% only), so I have hard time trying to set up environment variables when using binary version of Traefik (installed via home-brew) in macOS, for some reason it does not want to use environment variables from plist file:

...
<array>
  <string>/opt/homebrew/opt/traefik/bin/traefik</string>
  <string>--configfile=/Volumes/Prod/Programs/apps/configs/traefik/traefik.yml</string>
  <string>CF_API_EMAIL=myemail@here.com</string>
  <string>CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_API_TOKEN=mysecrettoken</string>
</array>
...

YAML file loads fine, but in logs it shows error that can not find variables (in though in terminal by checking (ps eww -o command | tr ' ' '\n') they are shown:

Is it yet impossible to specify ACME resolver email as an environment variable?

Hi there Times ago I was stuck with the certificatesResolvers being part of the static configuration, hence unable to take environment variable, hence the email was written in stone certificatesResolvers: letsencrypt: # random key name acme: email: "me@company.cloud" storage: "/etc/traefik/acme.json" httpChallenge: entryPoint: "web" Is there a way now to workaround the hardcoded email ? Without using a command override --certificateResolvers.letsencrypt.acme.em…

I have found solution - on macOS it needs in plist file to be configured via executing command with these Environment parameters:

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
    <string>/bin/zsh</string>
    <string>-c</string>
    <string>CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=myemail@here.com CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN=mysecrettoken /opt/homebrew/opt/traefik/bin/traefik --configfile=/Volumes/Prod/Programs/apps/configs/traefik/traefik.yml</string>
</array>
