Specify Docker tag when creating release

Hi

I’m pushing images to Docker Hub and download them during the Run Container step. When creating the release in my build pipeline, how can I tell the release to download the specified version of the image?
Is there any variable that I can use in “RUN A DOCKER CONTAINER” step when specifying Package ID?
<org>/<package>:#{Variable passed from OctopusCreateRelease step or 'latest' if not explicitly set}

Output:
Finding release template…
The package version for some steps was not specified. Going to try and resolve those automatically…
Finding latest package for step: Run container
<-- Wrong package selected -->
Selected ‘/’ version ‘1.0.0-docker-env.173166.0’ for ‘Run container’
Using version number provided on command-line: 1.0.0-alpha.0.21
Release plan for **** 1.0.0-alpha.0.21
Channel: '
***’ (this is the default channel)
# Name Version Source Version rules
— --------------- --------------------------- ------------------ -------------------
1 Run container 1.0.0-docker-env.173166.0 Latest available Allow any version

A package exists with same name as release but it’s not selected.

Thanks

Hi @joakim.carselind,

Thanks for getting in touch!

The behaviour suggests that for some reason it is unable to match the packageName:Version in the additional arguments successfully.

You could try amending it and use StepName:Version instead to see if that provides better results.
Or, perhaps try --packageVersion=VALUE which sets the desired version for all packages in the release without having to specify individual packages/steps.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks StepName:Version did the trick!
