I have a GitHub action with a workflow that uses a container to run it, using a private docker registry (myhostname.com - see below).

jobs:
  myjob:
    name: My Job
    runs-on: [ some-tag-on-runners ]
    container:
      image: myhostname.com/dir/subdir/image:latest

I tried parameterizing myhostname.com using the {{ $secrets.SOME_SECRET }} feature but it doesn't work. I need to have this workflow in several repos and if the hostname changes I would like to be able to change it in only one place. Can't seem to find anything in the docs at GitHub.

all ${{}} variables doesn't work in definitions I am afraid - I have similar problem with dynamic versioning across different workflows – Grzegorz Krukowski Mar 01 '22 at 16:57
@GrzegorzKrukowski: so I understand you've hit this problem, tried the same and found no solution so far? – Andrei Rînea Mar 01 '22 at 19:16
