Bad substitution on label shell expansion

[frenkel]

Based on the documentation I've added this at the root level of my deploy.yml:

labels:
  host-machine: "${cat /etc/hostname}"

This results in the following error:

docker stdout: Nothing written
docker stderr: bash: line 1: ${cat /etc/hostname}: bad substitution

Is the documentation outdated? Or did I do something wrong here?

My server is running Debian with bash as it's shell.

Shell substitution uses regular parentheses rather than curly braces:

labels:
  host-machine: "$(cat /etc/hostname)"
