gitlab-runner can not find docker image after build

The scene is very basic. There is a dockerfile on gitlab server and this repository is build by gitlab-runner using docker. There is a my pipeline:

image: docker:latest

variables:
  DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2375
  DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: ""

services:
  - name: docker:dind
    alias: docker

stages:
  - build
  - test

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - docker build -t swim-web-img .
  tags:
    - docker
    - dotnet

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - docker run -dp 8080:80 --name swim-web-cntr swim-web-img
  tags:
    - docker
    - dotnet

This is a create docker image but gitlab-runner can not find during build and test job:

Solution

  • Each job has its own independent docker daemon (as declared in your services:). Therefore, you cannot build and run the same image across jobs. When the job completes, the docker:dind service (the job's docker daemon) shuts down and any images pulled or built in the job are also removed.

    You should either build and run the container in the same job or push the container image to a registry first and then pull it in the subsequent job.
