docker-compose: How can I pass ARG as variable to docker-compose? - docker

Question

I have this docker-compose file
version: "3.7"
services:
develop:
build:
args:
user: sineverba
uid: 1000
context: ./
container_name: tpaw-develop
image: tpaw-develop:0.1.0
volumes:
- ./:/home/sineverba/app
networks:
- develop-tpaw
networks:
develop-tpaw:
driver: bridge
I can launch it with docker-compose run --rm develop.
I want pass that args as variable from docker-compose command and not hard-coding it.
Is it possible?
I did try with
version: "3.7"
services:
develop:
build:
args:
user: ${CURRENT_USER}
uid: 1000
context: ./
And launch
CURRENT_USER=$(whoami) docker-compose build app
But Docker created a container with user $user inside
PS this is the main Dockerfile
