Trying to install a gitlab runner on my windows machine inside a docker container
Using
docker run -d --name gitlab-runner --restart always \ -v ${PWD}/gitla
/gitlab-runner \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest
I'm following the official docs but nothing refers to windows
https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/docker.html
What's the correct way to set-up a docker container to execute a gitlab runner?
Thanks in advance!
It currently isn't fully supported, however there is an open issue and relevant open merge request to add that functionality!

I am trying to run docker image with gitlab on my Raspberry PI.
Versions:
Raspbian 10 (buster)
Docker 20.10.8, API 1.41
Gitlab CE 13.10.0-ce.0 from [this][1] image, ulm0/gitlab 12.7.2
I am using simply docker command to run gitlab:
sudo docker run --name gitlab \
-p 10080:80 -p 10022:22 -p 10443:443 \
-v /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
-v /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
-v /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab -v \
/srv/gitlab/logs/reconfigure:/var/log/gitlab/reconfigure \
ulm0/gitlab
After running a command, in sudo docker logs gitlab I've got something like this:
Configure GitLab for your system by editing /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file
And restart this container to reload settings.
To do it use docker exec:
docker exec -it gitlab vim /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
docker restart gitlab
For a comprehensive list of configuration options please see the Omnibus GitLab readme
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md
If this container fails to start due to permission problems try to fix it by executing:
docker exec -it gitlab update-permissions
docker restart gitlab
but after running docker exec -it gitlab update-permissions I've got this:
Error response from daemon: Container 110f1def3f669d8d180bf552aa63e50c0e4c857f8bd1ab2745a677454fef04b0
is restarting, wait until the container is running
when I ran command with permissions right after container stared, I got unable to upgrade to tcp, received 409 and now I stuck, because I can not even log into my machine, it's restarting all the time. I tried to change port to more custom, but it's also dead.
I used latest version, but I have changed it to ulm0/gitlab:12.10.0 and it works. Sounds like a bug in a new version.
So I saw this answer, but not getting my required solution.
I'm running Jenkins inside a docker image (from https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins). And now want to use my host (Windows 10) machine as an agent or slave, so that some jobs required to be executed on the Windows machine can use my host machine. This job includes the use of another docker container.
First, I don't know how to access the host from inside Docker. So I'm unable to figure out the addresses/ip to use in Manage Jenkin's Nodes.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Add the host machine as node with the IP address In conatiner(Jenkins) .
Then on each Job you can restrict the job to run on specific slave (respected node of host machine ).
See this command will help you to solve your problem :
docker run -d --name my-jenkins \
-v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker \
-p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 \
jenkins/jenkins:lts-jdk11
OS: Windows server 2016
I have an App wrote in Go and put in a docker container. The App has to access "D:\test.db". How can I do that?
Using docker volumes and by using the -v or --mount flag when you start your container.
A modified example from the Docker docs:
$ docker run -d \
--mount source=myvol2,target=/app \
nginx:latest
you just need to replace nginx:latext with your image name and adapt source and target as you need.
Another example (also from the docs) using -v and mounting in read-only mode:
$ docker run -d \
-v nginx-vol:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro \
nginx:latest
I'm following this guide to install docker for my GitLab server running on Ubuntu 16.4.
When I execute the following command:
docker run -d --name gitlab-runner --restart always \
-v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest
So far so good. However, when I run the next command to register the runner from this guide:
docker run --rm -t -i -v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner --name gitlab-runner gitlab/gitlab-runner register
I keep getting the message:
docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/gitlab-runner" is already in use by container "b055ded012f9d0ed085fe84756604464afbb11871b432a21300064333e34cb1d". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.
However, when I run docker container list to see the list of containers, it's empty.
Anyone know how I can fix this error?
Just to add my 2-cents as I've also recently been through those GitLab documents to get the Docker GitLab runner working.
Following the Docker image installation and configuration guide, it tells you to start that container, however that I believe, is a mistake, and you want to do that after registering the Runner.
If you did run:
docker run -d --name gitlab-runner --restart always \
-v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest
Just remove the docker container with docker rm -f gitlab-runner, and move on to registering the runner.
docker run --rm -t -i -v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner --name gitlab-runner gitlab/gitlab-runner register
This would register the runner, and also place the configuration in /srv/gitlab-runner/config/config.toml on the local machine.
You can then run the original docker run:
docker run -d --name gitlab-runner --restart always \
-v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest
(NB, if this doesn't work because of the name being in use again - just run the docker rm -f gitlab-runner command again - you won't lose the gitlab-runner configuration).
And that would stand up the Docker gitlab-runner with the configuration set from the register command.
Hope this helps!
You're trying to run two containers with the same name? Where did these instructions come from? Then in your response you're saying you get the error 'No such container: gitlab-runner-config' but that's not the name of any of the containers you're trying to run?
Seems that your first container is meant to be called gitlab-runner-config based on everything else I see in there, including your volumes-from. Probably that's why gitlab-runner doesn't show up in docker ps, because you're trying to get volumes from a container that doesn't exist. Try clearing everything, and then run the following:
$ docker run -d --name gitlab-runner-config --restart always \
-v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest
...
$ docker run -d --name gitlab-runner --restart always \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--volumes-from gitlab-runner-config \
gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest
EDIT: OK so I read the guide, you're following the instructions wrong. It's saying in step 2, either do the one command, or the two afterwards. Either do a combined config and run container (which is called gitlab-runner) or do a config container (called gitlab-runner-config) then a runner container (called gitlab-runner). You're doing multiple steps with the same container name but mixing them up.
Run docker ps -a and you will see all your containers (even the not running ones), if you use the --rm option on run your container will be removed when stopped if that is the behaviour you are after.
You could always just skip the whole --name option if you want to create more than one of the same image and don't care about the name.
I also came across this, and opened an issue against the GitLab documentation. Here's my comment in there:
Actually, I think the issue might be something different:
On step 3, clicking on the link takes you to https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/index.html#docker.
In doing this, you land on the right section, near the end of the page. But this also means that you miss one important bit of information at the top of the page:
Before registering a Runner, you need to first:
Install it on a server separate than where GitLab is installed on
Obtain a token for a shared or specific Runner via GitLab's interface
That is, the documentation instructions recommend and assume that the gitlab runner container is on another machine. Thus they are not expected to work for containers on the same one.
My suggestion would be to add a note after the register step to check the registration requirements at the top of the page first.
Other than that, #johnharris85's answer would work for registering the runner on the same machine. The only extra thing you'd need to do is to add the --network="host" option to the command to do the registration. That is:
sudo docker run --rm -t -i \
-v /srv/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner \
--network="host" --name gitlab-runner-register \
gitlab/gitlab-runner register
I know docker, but less about bitcoind.
Now I want to use this docker image to start my own test environment:
The description tells me:
docker volume create --name=bitcoind-data
docker run -v bitcoind-data:/bitcoin --name=bitcoind-node -d \
-p 8333:8333 \
-p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 \
kylemanna/bitcoind
Now I want to now how I have to add my bitcoind.conf?
This isn't provided anywere? Can I use it at container startup or docker exec?
