Symfony Command sending emails, missing absolute URLs in twig

Question

There are a few questions covering this issue but none of them are solving my problem. This is a Symfony 2.8 application running in a PHP 7.1 docker container.

When the command is run as cron, the absolute URLs are using localhost in emails. I've tried both suggestions in the documentation here - configuring on the command itself and globally in parameters.

Everything works until the command is run by cron - even if I run the same manually. For example, running the following on the host into the container correctly generates the absolute URLs:

docker-compose exec --user www-data application sh -c "cd /var/www/html && /usr/local/bin/php app/console my:command -e=stage"

But my cron is reverting to localhost:

1-59/3 * * * * www-data cd /var/www/html && /usr/local/bin/php app/console my:command -e=stage

Cron is running inside the container. If I bash into the container as www-data and run: /usr/local/bin/php app/console my:command -e=stage it also works correctly so I'm at a loss as to why it's not playing ball as a crontab.

Environment variables are not available to cron. So the command and parameters were using a BASE_DOMAIN environment variable which was null when being run by a scheduled cron task.

To get around the issue, the base domain was passed as an argument to the command and the host was set on the request context as follows:

$context = $this->router->getContext();
$context->setHost($input->getArgument('host'));

And then updating the cron to include the host.

An incomplete answer in terms of code and the command. How to pass the base domain via command ?

--host=example.com (symfony.com/doc/current/console/input.html)

Incidentally, I seem to have had this exact problem twice and come up with two solutions! stackoverflow.com/questions/52970558/…
