-e SERVER=[2001:db8:618:5c0:263::]:6669:password

-e SERVER="ssl.example.net +6697"
```

Only one server can be specified via an environmental variable. The + denotes an SSL-enabled port. After the first run, it is advised to edit the eggdrop config directly to add additional servers (see Long-term Persistence below).
Note that specifiying a port or password will require enclosing the entire argument within quotes. Only one server can be specified via an environmental variable. The + denotes an SSL-enabled port.

## Docker-isms

IMPORTANT - Due to how alpine handles DNS functionality, for the time being you MUST either a) manually add a DNS server to your eggdrop config (`set dns-servers "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"` would do the trick) or b) disable the DNS module (commenting out `loadmodule dns` in the config) in order for DNS resolution to work. We are currently testing new code to mitigate this issue.

You'll know you're affected by this quirk if you see errors such as `nslookup: can't resolve '(null)': Name does not resolve` or the generic `Failed connect to irc.libera.chat (DNS lookup failed)`.
