Start the bot and configure Amazon S3 using environment variables

If you don't want to use Secrets Manager to host the data retention bot credentials, you can start the data retention bot Docker image with the following environment variables. You must identify the name of the data retention bot using the WICKRIO_BOT_NAME environment variable.

docker run -v /opt/compliance_1234567890_bot:/tmp/compliance_1234567890_bot --network=host \
-d --restart on-failure:5 --name="compliance_1234567890_bot" -ti \
-e WICKRIO_BOT_NAME='compliance_1234567890_bot' \
-e WICKRIO_BOT_PASSWORD='password' \
-e WICKRIO_S3_BUCKET_NAME='bot-compliance' \
-e WICKRIO_S3_FOLDER_NAME='network1234567890' \
-e WICKRIO_S3_REGION='us-east-1' \
wickr/bot-compliance-cloud:latest

You can use environment values to identify the data retention bot’s credentials, information about Amazon S3 buckets, and configuration information for the default file streaming.
