Hi again, I am trying to run CloudQuery inside Docker and I usually invoke the CLI command from my application code:

```auto
cloudquery sync

```

But after the latest updates with auth, I am unable to run the same command despite setting `API_KEY` as an environment variable. Any tips on how to do this correctly?

Hi @fun-griffon, how are you setting the env variable? I would add a command to print it before the sync to see if it gets added correctly.

Hey Erez, sure let me try this once.  
For now, I just add all my variables in an `.env` file and pass it at the time of running the Docker container.  
Hey @erez, sorry it took me some time. I was testing it, and it is working for now.

No issues found, but it was a bit weird that it didn’t work at first.

I probably think it was the old binary that was getting downloaded. Updated the Docker config and it seems to be working.

Thanks a lot for your swift response, I really appreciate your efforts 🙂 Have a nice day.
