I've tried to get my setup work with gitlab-ci. I have a simple gitlab-ci.yml file
build_ubuntu:
image: ubuntu:14.04
services:
- rikorose/gcc-cmake:gcc-5
stage: build
script:
- apt-get update
- apt-get install -y python3 build-essential curl
- cmake --version
tags:
- linux
I want to get a ubuntu 14.04 LTS with gcc and cmake (apt-get version is to old) installed. If i use it locally (via docker --link command) everything works, but when the gitlab-ci-runner will process it i get the following waring (which is in my case an error)
Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner 9.2.0 (adfc387)
on xubuntuci1 (19c6d3ce)

Does anybody know how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance Tonka
You must start the gitlab-runner container with
--privileged true
but that is not enough. Any runner containers that are spun up by gitlab after registering need to be privileged too. So you need to mount the gitlab-runner
docker exec -it runner /bin/bash
nano /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml
and change privileged flag from false into true:
privileged = true
That will solve the problem!
note: you can also mount the config.toml as a volume on the container then you won't have to log into the container to change privileged to true because you can preconfigure the container before running it.
