How do you insert a env variable in the service definition image name?

[jj471]

I want to add an environment-specific variable to the service image tag.

For example

image: some-image:{$env_var}

I have tried:

- some-image:$env_var

- "some-image:${env_var}"

- "some-image:{{$env_var}}"

Hello,

I've just published an article and a video showing how you can use a variable as the image name.

This solution is based on Dynamic Pipelines and requires a Forge app.

Hope this helps,
Caterina

Hi @jj471 and welcome to the community.

I'm afraid that it is not possible to use an environment variable in the Docker image name at the moment. The image name and version need to be specified in the yaml file without the use of variables.
