How to pass parameters in deploy mode. After I pass them, they cannot be seen in the environment variables. How do I receive them?

Hi,

If you need to customize Drone in order to pass additional environment variables to your pipeline, the recommended approach is to create an environment extension. See [https://docs.drone.io/extensions/environment/](https://docs.drone.io/extensions/environment/)

It sounds like an environment extension (described above) is the best approach if you need something more dynamic and custom, but you can also load global environment variable from a file by providing the runner with an environment file:  
[https://docs.drone.io/runner/docker/configuration/reference/drone-runner-env-file/](https://docs.drone.io/runner/docker/configuration/reference/drone-runner-env-file/)
