Your Docker image might be broken without you know...
No, you have to take care of environment variables yourself. Unfortunately, Docker does not inherit environment variables from the base image, so in every Dockerfile you have to ensure that the right environment variables are set.

That's not "unfortunate" -- it is by design. You use containers to minimize dependencies on the host.
