### Single Container

If you have a simple setup, with a **single container** that then starts multiple **worker processes** (or also just one process), then you could run those previous steps in the same container, right before starting the process with the app. The official Docker image supports this internally.

```Python hl_lines="5-6"
{!../../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial007.py!}
```

!!! tip
    You can use `async` or regular functions.

    **FastAPI** will do the right thing with each, the same as with normal dependencies.

## A dependency with `yield` and `try`

If you use a `try` block in a dependency with `yield`, you'll receive any exception that was thrown when using the dependency.

You can also create an environment variable only for a specific program invocation, that is only available to that program, and only for its duration.

To do that, create it right before the program itself, on the same line:

<div class="termy">

```console
// Create an env var MY_NAME in line for this program call
$ MY_NAME="Wade Wilson" python main.py
