'how to setup self connection to google_compute_instance_template for file provisioning

I am trying to do a file provisioned into google_compute_instance_template using the method shown below

...
  provisioner "file" {
      source = file("${path.module}/../scripts/infrastructure/circleci/docker-compose.production.yml")
      destination = "/tmp/docker_compose_file"

      connection {
        host = google_compute_instance_template.media_apps_template.self_link.public_ip
        agent = false
        type = "ssh"
        user = "ubuntu"
        private_key = "${file("./creds/media_apps")}"
      }
  }

....

the parent google_compute_instance_template looks like this

resource "google_compute_instance_template" "media_apps_template" {

}

The error am getting is Can't access attributes on a primitive-typed value (string).

How can I configure the host part

google-cloud-platform terraform
