Github actions workflow to docker container environment - docker

Question

I have the following environment variable set in GitHub workflow file (on the top level):
env:
GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER: ${github.run_number}
I would like to access it in my docker container (frontend-react) and log in console:
console.log(`Build number= ${process.env.GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER}`)
Currently, the GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER does not reach the container build in the workflow exec container env
How should I pass environment variables from workflow to container?
Thanks!

The missing step was defining the variable in Docker file as mentioned by aknosis
