AWS CLI docker: parameters are not formatted correctly

I need to make some work with docker and AWS.

when I try to run

$ docker run --rm -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY grycap/aws-cli ec2 describe-instances

I get:

An error occurred (AuthFailure) when calling the DescribeInstances operation: Authorization header or parameters are not formatted correctly.

But my $aws configure is already done; when I run

$aws configure list


I get:

Name Value Type Location
---- ----- ---- --------
profile <not set> None None
access_key ****************3Y7Q shared-credentials-file
secret_key ****************yCIY shared-credentials-file
region ap-southeast-2 config-file ~/.aws/config


Edit:
when I try

echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

the response is an empty line...

echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

docker run -it -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=$AWS_DEFAULT_REGION grycap/aws-cli ec2 describe-instances

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your-Actual-key> and same for $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

docker run --rm -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY grycap/aws-cli ec2 describe-instances

Here is the complete solutions.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your-Actual-key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your-Actual-key>
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<Your-Actual-Region>

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your-Actual-key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your-Actual-key>
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<Your-Actual-Region>

And than run command below :

docker run --rm -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY grycap/aws-cli ec2 describe-instances


Alternatively You can put all these three in ~/.bash_profile

~/.bash_profile

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your-Actual-key>; export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your-Actual-key> ; export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<Your-Actual-Region> ;export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION


source ~/.bash_profile and than run command :

source ~/.bash_profile

docker run --rm -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY grycap/aws-cli ec2 describe-instances


hope this will help.
