docker parameters

[Mauricio Garavaglia <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm writting a small patch to allow to set arbitrary parameters to a docker
job by setting Protos.Parameter to DockerInfo while the task is created.

This works fine so far, but if I try to set an environment variable (using
docker's --environment) of course the executor gets this variable and I
can't make it pass through the Process that runs in the container.

Is there a straight forward way to do that or do I need to modify the
executor?

The executor completely scrubs the environment [1], so you'd have to
prevent it from doing that. I'd suggest adding a flag to the executor to
take a list of other environment variables to whitelist.
