Just mount your credential directory as read-only using:

docker run -v ${HOME}/.aws/credentials:/root/.aws/credentials:ro  ...

given you have root as the user in the container and also have setup the host using this guide for credentials file.

or pass them directly using environment variables as:

docker run -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<ACCESS_KEY> -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<SECRET_KEY> ...
