The error occurs because Docker Compose variable names cannot contain dots (.), so ${127.0.0.1} is not valid variable syntax in docker-compose.yaml. This is why you are seeing:

invalid interpolation format for services.web.image.
You may need to escape any $ with another $.
${127.0.0.1}:5002/torizon-web:${TAG}

How to Resolve

Approach 1 (Recommended): Hard-code the IPv4 Address in docker-compose.yaml

Instead of using a variable for the registry address, write the address directly in the image field for your service:

web:
  build:
    context: ./web
    dockerfile: Dockerfile
  image: 127.0.0.1:5002/torizon-web:${TAG}

Then, in your script, you can remove the LOCAL_REGISTRY variable for this service. Your build/push commands will work with this fixed image name.

Approach 2: Use a Valid Environment Variable Name

If you want to keep the registry as a variable, set it to a name without dots, for example:

In your .env or script:

export REGISTRY_ADDR="127_0_0_1"

And in your compose file:

image: ${REGISTRY_ADDR}:5002/torizon-web:${TAG}

But this is rarely done; the hard-coded approach above is simpler and avoids confusion.

Additional Notes

Summary:
Use the literal address 127.0.0.1:5002 in your image line instead of an environment variable for your Docker images. This will resolve the variable interpolation error and allow the build and push commands to work on your setup.
