Hi @haosdent Based on my testing, this is not the case.
I ran a task (from marathon) without using a docker container that just printed out all environment variables. i.e. while [ true ]; do env; sleep 2; done I then run a task that executed the same command inside an alpine docker image. When running without a docker image LIBPROCESS_IP was defined along with many other variables. Sample output when running without docker (note LIBPROCESS_IP) is defined Registered executor on mesos-slave0 Starting task plain-test.5e5b00cc-2645-11e6-a3dd-080027aa149e sh -c 'while [ true ]; do env; sleep 2; done' Forked command at 16571 LIBPROCESS_IP=192.168.3.16 MESOS_AGENT_ENDPOINT=192.168.3.16:5051 MESOS_EXECUTOR_REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT=5mins HOST=mesos-slave0 SHELL=/bin/sh MESOS_DIRECTORY=/var/mesos/slaves/7ad17efe-0f9e-4703-9d2e-7fb9ee03f64c-S0/frameworks/aae929c7-24a5-4463-9ae0-bc7b044973c5-0000/executors/plain-test.5e5b00cc-2645-11e6-a3dd-080027aa149e/runs/c9b6ef86-b37d-4e3c-b1ca-bd680aed779f PORT0=31082 PORT_10001=31082 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 … more Sample output when running with docker (note LIBPROCESS_IP is not defined) --container="mesos-7ad17efe-0f9e-4703-9d2e-7fb9ee03f64c-S0.f3a94ab4-dfff-4e97-b806-f1cc501ecf42" --docker="docker" --docker_socket="/var/run/docker.sock" --help="false" --initialize_driver_logging="true" --launcher_dir="/usr/libexec/mesos" --logbufsecs="0" --logging_level="INFO" --mapped_directory="/mnt/mesos/sandbox" --quiet="false" --sandbox_directory="/var/mesos/slaves/7ad17efe-0f9e-4703-9d2e-7fb9ee03f64c-S0/frameworks/aae929c7-24a5-4463-9ae0-bc7b044973c5-0000/executors/alpine-test.77d5a3d9-2644-11e6-a3dd-080027aa149e/runs/f3a94ab4-dfff-4e97-b806-f1cc501ecf42" --stop_timeout="0ns" --container="mesos-7ad17efe-0f9e-4703-9d2e-7fb9ee03f64c-S0.f3a94ab4-dfff-4e97-b806-f1cc501ecf42" --docker="docker" --docker_socket="/var/run/docker.sock" --help="false" --initialize_driver_logging="true" --launcher_dir="/usr/libexec/mesos" --logbufsecs="0" --logging_level="INFO" --mapped_directory="/mnt/mesos/sandbox" --quiet="false" --sandbox_directory="/var/mesos/slaves/7ad17efe-0f9e-4703-9d2e-7fb9ee03f64c-S0/frameworks/aae929c7-24a5-4463-9ae0-bc7b044973c5-0000/executors/alpine-test.77d5a3d9-2644-11e6-a3dd-080027aa149e/runs/f3a94ab4-dfff-4e97-b806-f1cc501ecf42" --stop_timeout="0ns" Registered docker executor on mesos-slave0 Starting task alpine-test.77d5a3d9-2644-11e6-a3dd-080027aa149e HOSTNAME=984809b0b720 SHLVL=1 HOME=/root PORT=31295 MESOS_CONTAINER_NAME=mesos-7ad17efe-0f9e-4703-9d2e-7fb9ee03f64c-S0.f3a94ab4-dfff-4e97-b806-f1cc501ecf42 MARATHON_APP_ID=/alpine-test PORTS=31295 PORT0=31295 MARATHON_APP_DOCKER_IMAGE=alpine PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin MESOS_SANDBOX=/mnt/mesos/sandbox MARATHON_APP_RESOURCE_DISK=0.0 MARATHON_APP_RESOURCE_MEM=128.0 HOST=mesos-slave0 PORT_10000=31295 MARATHON_APP_VERSION=2016-05-30T08:56:59.065Z MARATHON_APP_LABELS= PWD=/ MESOS_TASK_ID=alpine-test.77d5a3d9-2644-11e6-a3dd-080027aa149e MARATHON_APP_RESOURCE_CPUS=1.0 Is there some other config I need to do for the docker containerizer?
