I have the following hierarchy:

docker-compose.yml

• deployer/.env

My deployer service:

    image: jenkins:docker_noroot
    build: ./common/jenkins/.docker
    user: "${ID_USER}:${ID_GROUP}"
    env_file:
      - ./deployer/.env
    container_name: central-deployer
    volumes:
      - $PWD/deployer/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    networks:
      - infrastructure

Now the .env works if I put .env file from deployer to base dir (the same as docker-compose.yml), otherwise I get this warn:

but give me the error:

   WARN[0000] The "ID_GROUP" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string. 

I would need to launch the container by calling the env file from deployer and not in the base directory. How can I solve this problem?
