Check here

Any env var that you'd need it to be passed to the containers, needs to be declared under 'env' section in your deploy.yml config (top level):

env: clear: DATABASE_URL: mysql2://db1/hey_production/ REDIS_URL: redis://redis1:6379/1 secret: - DATABASE_PASSWORD - REDIS_PASSWORD
same for 'accessories' (under each accessory section)

@ahsan-eazyops It doesn't actually push the file into the container, it just runs the container with the --env-file option pointing at that .env file. The .env file is actually sitting on the server in a Kamal directory, if you look at the output from kamal env push you'll see where it stores it for that role + server.
