Hi community

I have a pipeline where a stack (service) is deployed to my docker swarm. I want to use $CI_PROJECT_NAME in my docker service definition file to define the docker service name. But it seems the variable is not being expanded, or something else is wrong. I need to have a generic yml so I can distribute this to all devs and they don't have to change anything.

Example of what I am trying to achieve:

version: '3.9'
services:
  $CI_PROJECT_NAME:
    image: myregistry/devops1/$CI_PROJECT_NAME/$CI_PROJECT_NAME:latest
    deploy:
      replicas: 3
      endpoint_mode: dnsrr
      update_config:
        parallelism: 1
        delay: 3s
        order: start-first
        failure_action: rollback
        monitor: 1m
      restart_policy:
        max_attempts: 3
      placement:
        max_replicas_per_node: 1
    networks:
      - microservices
    volumes:
      - apache-logs:/var/log/

networks:
  microservices:
    external: true


volumes:
  apache-logs:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/swarm_shared/services/$CI_PROJECT_NAME
      type: none

I know this is not a docker forum, but was thinking the issue is with my pipeline rather than my docker compose file. I would appreciate any help I can get. TIA

EDIT: As per this community post I used a sed replacement command to solve my problem. Ugly, but functional.

Thanks for the input!
