Hi Eliot,

Try the XPath function fn:environment-variable [1]

I’m running BaseX in a Docker container started via docker-compose. I need to communicate some local configuration details to BaseX. Can set these as environment variables (e.g., using .env with docker-compose) but I don’t see anything in the docs that would let me access environment variables from XQuery.

Is there a built-in way to do this?

Thanks,

Eliot
