# Use Docker to build Docker images **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
You can use GitLab CI/CD with Docker to create Docker images.
|
|
For example, you can create a Docker image of your application,
|
|
test it, and publish it to a container registry.
|
|
|
|
To run Docker commands in your CI/CD jobs, you must configure
|
|
GitLab Runner to support `docker` commands.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build Docker images without enabling privileged mode on the runner,
|
|
you can use a [Docker alternative](#docker-alternatives).
|
|
|
|
## Enable Docker commands in your CI/CD jobs
|
|
|
|
To enable Docker commands for your CI/CD jobs, you can use:
|
|
|
|
- [The shell executor](#use-the-shell-executor)
|
|
- [Docker-in-Docker](#use-docker-in-docker)
|
|
- [Docker socket binding](#use-docker-socket-binding)
|
|
|
|
If you are using shared runners on GitLab.com,
|
|
[learn more about how these runners are configured](../runners/index.md).
|
|
|
|
### Use the shell executor
|
|
|
|
To include Docker commands in your CI/CD jobs, you can configure your runner to
|
|
use the `shell` executor. In this configuration, the `gitlab-runner` user runs
|
|
the Docker commands, but needs permission to do so.
|
|
|
|
1. [Install](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/#installation) GitLab Runner.
|
|
1. [Register](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/) a runner.
|
|
Select the `shell` executor. For example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-runner register -n \
|
|
--url https://gitlab.com/ \
|
|
--registration-token REGISTRATION_TOKEN \
|
|
--executor shell \
|
|
--description "My Runner"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. On the server where GitLab Runner is installed, install Docker Engine.
|
|
View a list of [supported platforms](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
|
|
|
|
1. Add the `gitlab-runner` user to the `docker` group:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo usermod -aG docker gitlab-runner
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Verify that `gitlab-runner` has access to Docker:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -u gitlab-runner -H docker info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. In GitLab, to verify that everything works, add `docker info` to `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
before_script:
|
|
- docker info
|
|
|
|
build_image:
|
|
script:
|
|
- docker build -t my-docker-image .
|
|
- docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now use `docker` commands (and install `docker-compose` if needed).
|
|
|
|
When you add `gitlab-runner` to the `docker` group, you are effectively granting `gitlab-runner` full root permissions.
|
|
Learn more about the [security of the `docker` group](https://blog.zopyx.com/on-docker-security-docker-group-considered-harmful/).
|
|
|
|
### Use Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
"Docker-in-Docker" (`dind`) means:
|
|
|
|
- Your registered runner uses the [Docker executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html) or the [Kubernetes executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html).
|
|
- The executor uses a [container image of Docker](https://hub.docker.com/_/docker/), provided
|
|
by Docker, to run your CI/CD jobs.
|
|
|
|
The Docker image has all of the `docker` tools installed and can run
|
|
the job script in context of the image in privileged mode.
|
|
|
|
We recommend you use Docker-in-Docker with TLS enabled,
|
|
which is supported by [GitLab.com shared runners](../runners/index.md).
|
|
|
|
You should always specify a specific version of the image, like `docker:20.10.16`.
|
|
If you use a tag like `docker:stable`, you have no control over which version is used.
|
|
Unpredictable behavior can result, especially when new versions are released.
|
|
|
|
#### Use the Docker executor with Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
You can use the Docker executor to run jobs in a Docker container.
|
|
|
|
##### Docker-in-Docker with TLS enabled in the Docker executor
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab Runner 11.11.
|
|
|
|
The Docker daemon supports connections over TLS. In Docker 19.03.12 and later,
|
|
TLS is the default.
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
This task enables `--docker-privileged`. When you do this, you are effectively disabling all of
|
|
the security mechanisms of containers and exposing your host to privilege
|
|
escalation. Doing this can lead to container breakout. For more information,
|
|
see the official Docker documentation about
|
|
[runtime privilege and Linux capabilities](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-privilege-and-linux-capabilities).
|
|
|
|
To use Docker-in-Docker with TLS enabled:
|
|
|
|
1. Install [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/).
|
|
1. Register GitLab Runner from the command line. Use `docker` and `privileged`
|
|
mode:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-runner register -n \
|
|
--url https://gitlab.com/ \
|
|
--registration-token REGISTRATION_TOKEN \
|
|
--executor docker \
|
|
--description "My Docker Runner" \
|
|
--docker-image "docker:20.10.16" \
|
|
--docker-privileged \
|
|
--docker-volumes "/certs/client"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- This command registers a new runner to use the `docker:20.10.16` image.
|
|
To start the build and service containers, it uses the `privileged` mode.
|
|
If you want to use Docker-in-Docker,
|
|
you must always use `privileged = true` in your Docker containers.
|
|
- This command mounts `/certs/client` for the service and build
|
|
container, which is needed for the Docker client to use the
|
|
certificates in that directory. For more information on how
|
|
Docker with TLS works, see <https://hub.docker.com/_/docker/#tls>.
|
|
|
|
The previous command creates a `config.toml` entry similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
url = "https://gitlab.com/"
|
|
token = TOKEN
|
|
executor = "docker"
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
tls_verify = false
|
|
image = "docker:20.10.16"
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
disable_cache = false
|
|
volumes = ["/certs/client", "/cache"]
|
|
[runners.cache]
|
|
[runners.cache.s3]
|
|
[runners.cache.gcs]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. You can now use `docker` in the job script. Note the inclusion of the
|
|
`docker:20.10.16-dind` service:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
# When you use the dind service, you must instruct Docker to talk with
|
|
# the daemon started inside of the service. The daemon is available
|
|
# with a network connection instead of the default
|
|
# /var/run/docker.sock socket. Docker 19.03 does this automatically
|
|
# by setting the DOCKER_HOST in
|
|
# https://github.com/docker-library/docker/blob/d45051476babc297257df490d22cbd806f1b11e4/19.03/docker-entrypoint.sh#L23-L29
|
|
#
|
|
# The 'docker' hostname is the alias of the service container as described at
|
|
# https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/services/#accessing-the-services.
|
|
#
|
|
# Specify to Docker where to create the certificates. Docker
|
|
# creates them automatically on boot, and creates
|
|
# `/certs/client` to share between the service and job
|
|
# container, thanks to volume mount from config.toml
|
|

|
|
script:
|
|
- docker build -t my-docker-image .
|
|
- docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Docker-in-Docker with TLS disabled in the Docker executor
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you might have legitimate reasons to disable TLS.
|
|
For example, you have no control over the GitLab Runner configuration
|
|
that you are using.
|
|
|
|
Assuming that the runner's `config.toml` is similar to:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
url = "https://gitlab.com/"
|
|
token = TOKEN
|
|
executor = "docker"
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
tls_verify = false
|
|
image = "docker:20.10.16"
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
disable_cache = false
|
|
volumes = ["/cache"]
|
|
[runners.cache]
|
|
[runners.cache.s3]
|
|
[runners.cache.gcs]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now use `docker` in the job script. Note the inclusion of the
|
|
`docker:20.10.16-dind` service:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
# When using dind service, you must instruct docker to talk with the
|
|
# daemon started inside of the service. The daemon is available with

#
|
|
# The 'docker' hostname is the alias of the service container as described at
|
|
# https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_images.html#accessing-the-services
|
|
#
|
|
# If you're using GitLab Runner 12.7 or earlier with the Kubernetes executor and Kubernetes 1.6 or earlier,
|
|
# the variable must be set to tcp://localhost:2375 because of how the
|
|
# Kubernetes executor connects services to the job container
|
|
# DOCKER_HOST: tcp://localhost:2375
|
|
#
|
|
DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2375
|
|
#
|
|
# This instructs Docker not to start over TLS.
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### Use the Kubernetes executor with Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
You can use the Kubernetes executor to run jobs in a Docker container.
|
|
|
|
##### Docker-in-Docker with TLS enabled in Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/gitlab-runner/-/issues/106) in GitLab Runner Helm Chart 0.23.0.
|
|
|
|
To use Docker-in-Docker with TLS enabled in Kubernetes:
|
|
|
|
1. Using the
|
|
[Helm chart](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/kubernetes.html), update the
|
|
[`values.yml` file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/gitlab-runner/-/blob/00c1a2098f303dffb910714752e9a981e119f5b5/values.yaml#L133-137)
|
|
to specify a volume mount.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
runners:
|
|
config: |
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
[runners.kubernetes]
|
|
image = "ubuntu:20.04"
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
[[runners.kubernetes.volumes.empty_dir]]
|
|
name = "docker-certs"
|
|
mount_path = "/certs/client"
|
|
medium = "Memory"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. You can now use `docker` in the job script. Note the inclusion of the
|
|
`docker:20.10.16-dind` service:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
# When using dind service, you must instruct Docker to talk with
|
|
# the daemon started inside of the service. The daemon is available
|
|
# with a network connection instead of the default

|
|
DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2376
|
|
#
|
|
# The 'docker' hostname is the alias of the service container as described at

|
|
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY: 1
|
|

|
|
|
|
services:

- docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
|
|
before_script:
|
|
- docker info
|
|
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
script:
|
|
- docker build -t my-docker-image .
|
|
- docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Limitations of Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
Docker-in-Docker is the recommended configuration, but is
|
|
not without its own challenges:
|
|
|
|
- **The `docker-compose` command**: This command is not available in this configuration by default.
|
|
To use `docker-compose` in your job scripts, follow the `docker-compose`
|
|
[installation instructions](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
|
|
- **Cache**: Each job runs in a new environment. Concurrent jobs work fine,
|
|
because every build gets its own instance of Docker engine and they don't conflict with each other.
|
|
However, jobs can be slower because there's no caching of layers.
|
|
- **Storage drivers**: By default, earlier versions of Docker use the `vfs` storage driver,
|
|
which copies the file system for each job. Docker 17.09 and later use `--storage-driver overlay2`, which is
|
|
the recommended storage driver. See [Using the OverlayFS driver](#use-the-overlayfs-driver) for details.
|
|
- **Root file system**: Because the `docker:20.10.16-dind` container and the runner container don't share their
|
|
root file system, you can use the job's working directory as a mount point for
|
|
child containers. For example, if you have files you want to share with a
|
|
child container, you might create a subdirectory under `/builds/$CI_PROJECT_PATH`
|
|
and use it as your mount point. For a more detailed explanation, view
|
|
[issue #41227](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/41227).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
MOUNT_POINT: /builds/$CI_PROJECT_PATH/mnt
|
|
script:
|
|
- mkdir -p "$MOUNT_POINT"
|
|
- docker run -v "$MOUNT_POINT:/mnt" my-docker-image
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use Docker socket binding
|
|
|
|
To use Docker commands in your CI/CD jobs, you can bind-mount `/var/run/docker.sock` into the
|
|
container. Docker is then available in the context of the image.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
If you bind the Docker socket and you are
|
|
[using GitLab Runner 11.11 or later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/merge_requests/1261),
|
|
you can no longer use `docker:20.10.16-dind` as a service. Volume bindings
|
|
are done to the services as well, making these incompatible.
|
|
|
|
#### Use the Docker executor with Docker socket binding
|
|
|
|
To make Docker available in the context of the image, you will need to mount
|
|
`/var/run/docker.sock` into the launched containers. To do this with the Docker
|
|
executor, you need to add `"/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"` to the
|
|
[Volumes in the `[runners.docker]` section](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#volumes-in-the-runnersdocker-section).
|
|
|
|
Your configuration should look something like this:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
url = "https://gitlab.com/"
|
|
token = RUNNER_TOKEN
|
|
executor = "docker"
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
tls_verify = false
|
|
image = "docker:20.10.16"
|
|
privileged = false
|
|
disable_cache = false
|
|
volumes = ["/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock", "/cache"]
|
|
[runners.cache]
|
|
Insecure = false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also do this while registering your runner by providing the following options:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-runner register -n \
|
|
--url https://gitlab.com/ \
|
|
--registration-token REGISTRATION_TOKEN \
|
|
--executor docker \
|
|
--description "My Docker Runner" \
|
|
--docker-image "docker:20.10.16" \
|
|
--docker-volumes /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Enable registry mirror for `docker:dind` service
|
|
|
|
When the Docker daemon starts inside of the service container, it uses
|
|
the default configuration. You may want to configure a
|
|
[registry mirror](https://docs.docker.com/registry/recipes/mirror/) for
|
|
performance improvements and to ensure you don't reach Docker Hub rate limits.
|
|
|
|
###### The service in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
|
|
|
|
You can append extra CLI flags to the `dind` service to set the registry
|
|
mirror:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
- name: docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
command: ["--registry-mirror", "https://registry-mirror.example.com"] # Specify the registry mirror to use
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###### The service in the GitLab Runner configuration file
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/27173) in GitLab Runner 13.6.
|
|
|
|
If you are a GitLab Runner administrator, you can specify the `command` to configure the registry mirror
|
|
for the Docker daemon. The `dind` service must be defined for the
|
|
[Docker](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runnersdockerservices-section)
|
|
or [Kubernetes executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html#using-services).
|
|
|
|
Docker:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
...
|
|
executor = "docker"
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
...
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
[[runners.docker.services]]
|
|
name = "docker:20.10.16-dind"
|
|
command = ["--registry-mirror", "https://registry-mirror.example.com"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
...
|
|
name = "kubernetes"
|
|
[runners.kubernetes]
|
|
...
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
[[runners.kubernetes.services]]
|
|
name = "docker:20.10.16-dind"
|
|
command = ["--registry-mirror", "https://registry-mirror.example.com"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###### The Docker executor in the GitLab Runner configuration file
|
|
|
|
If you are a GitLab Runner administrator, you can use
|
|
the mirror for every `dind` service. Update the
|
|
[configuration](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html)
|
|
to specify a [volume mount](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#volumes-in-the-runnersdocker-section).
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a `/opt/docker/daemon.json` file with the following
|
|
content:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"registry-mirrors": [
|
|
"https://registry-mirror.example.com"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update the `config.toml` file to mount the file to
|
|
`/etc/docker/daemon.json`. This would mount the file for **every**
|
|
container that is created by GitLab Runner. The configuration is
|
|
picked up by the `dind` service.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
...
|
|
executor = "docker"
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
image = "alpine:3.12"
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
volumes = ["/opt/docker/daemon.json:/etc/docker/daemon.json:ro"]
|
|
```

If you are a GitLab Runner administrator, you can use
|
|
the mirror for every `dind` service. Update the
|
|
[configuration](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html)
|
|
to specify a [ConfigMap volume mount](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html#using-volumes).
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a `/tmp/daemon.json` file with the following
|
|
content:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"registry-mirrors": [
|
|
"https://registry-mirror.example.com"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/) with the content
|
|
of this file. You can do this with a command like:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl create configmap docker-daemon --namespace gitlab-runner --from-file /tmp/daemon.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
Make sure to use the namespace that the Kubernetes executor for GitLab Runner uses
|
|
to create job pods in.
|
|
|
|
After the ConfigMap is created, you can update the `config.toml`
|
|
file to mount the file to `/etc/docker/daemon.json`. This update
|
|
mounts the file for **every** container that is created by GitLab Runner.
|
|
The configuration is picked up by the `dind` service.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
...
|
|
executor = "kubernetes"
|
|
[runners.kubernetes]
|
|
image = "alpine:3.12"
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
[[runners.kubernetes.volumes.config_map]]
|
|
name = "docker-daemon"
|
|
mount_path = "/etc/docker/daemon.json"
|
|
sub_path = "daemon.json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Limitations of Docker socket binding
|
|
|
|
When you use Docker socket binding, you avoid running Docker in privileged mode. However,
|
|
the implications of this method are:
|
|
|
|
- By sharing the Docker daemon, you are effectively disabling all
|
|
the security mechanisms of containers and exposing your host to privilege
|
|
escalation, which can lead to container breakout. For example, if a project
|
|
ran `docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)` it would remove the GitLab Runner
|
|
containers.
|
|
- Concurrent jobs may not work; if your tests
|
|
create containers with specific names, they may conflict with each other.
|
|
- Any containers spawned by Docker commands are siblings of the runner rather
|
|
than children of the runner. This may have complications and limitations that
|
|
are unsuitable for your workflow.
|
|
- Sharing files and directories from the source repository into containers may not
|
|
work as expected. Volume mounting is done in the context of the host
|
|
machine, not the build container. For example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker run --rm -t -i -v $(pwd)/src:/home/app/src test-image:latest run_app_tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You don't need to include the `docker:20.10.16-dind` service, like you do when
|
|
you're using the Docker-in-Docker executor:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
before_script:
|
|
- docker info
|
|
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
script:
|
|
- docker build -t my-docker-image .
|
|
- docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authenticate with registry in Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
When you use Docker-in-Docker, the
|
|
[standard authentication methods](using_docker_images.md#access-an-image-from-a-private-container-registry)
|
|
don't work because a fresh Docker daemon is started with the service.
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Run `docker login`
|
|
|
|
In [`before_script`](../yaml/index.md#before_script), run `docker
|
|
login`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
- docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
before_script:
|
|
- echo "$DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASS" | docker login $DOCKER_REGISTRY --username $DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER --password-stdin
|
|
script:
|
|
- docker build -t my-docker-image .
|
|
- docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To sign in to Docker Hub, leave `$DOCKER_REGISTRY`
|
|
empty or remove it.
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Mount `~/.docker/config.json` on each job
|
|
|
|
If you are an administrator for GitLab Runner, you can mount a file
|
|
with the authentication configuration to `~/.docker/config.json`.
|
|
Then every job that the runner picks up is authenticated already. If you
|
|
are using the official `docker:20.10.16` image, the home directory is
|
|
under `/root`.
|
|
|
|
If you mount the configuration file, any `docker` command
|
|
that modifies the `~/.docker/config.json` fails. For example, `docker login`
|
|
fails, because the file is mounted as read-only. Do not change it from
|
|
read-only, because problems occur.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of `/opt/.docker/config.json` that follows the
|
|
[`DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`](using_docker_images.md#determine-your-docker_auth_config-data)
|
|
documentation:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"auths": {
|
|
"https://index.docker.io/v1/": {
|
|
"auth": "bXlfdXNlcm5hbWU6bXlfcGFzc3dvcmQ="
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Docker
|
|
|
|
Update the
|
|
[volume mounts](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#volumes-in-the-runnersdocker-section)
|
|
to include the file.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
...
|
|
executor = "docker"
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
...
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
volumes = ["/opt/.docker/config.json:/root/.docker/config.json:ro"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
Create a [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/) with the content
|
|
of this file. You can do this with a command like:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl create configmap docker-client-config --namespace gitlab-runner --from-file /opt/.docker/config.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update the [volume mounts](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html#using-volumes)
|
|
to include the file.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[runners]]
|
|
...
|
|
executor = "kubernetes"
|
|
[runners.kubernetes]
|
|
image = "alpine:3.12"
|
|
privileged = true
|
|
[[runners.kubernetes.volumes.config_map]]
|
|
name = "docker-client-config"
|
|
mount_path = "/root/.docker/config.json"
|
|
# If you are running GitLab Runner 13.5
|
|
# or lower you can remove this
|
|
sub_path = "config.json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Option 3: Use `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`
|
|
|
|
If you already have
|
|
[`DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`](using_docker_images.md#determine-your-docker_auth_config-data)
|
|
defined, you can use the variable and save it in
|
|
`~/.docker/config.json`.
|
|
|
|
There are multiple ways to define this authentication:
|
|
|
|
- In [`pre_build_script`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runners-section)
|
|
in the runner configuration file.
|
|
- In [`before_script`](../yaml/index.md#before_script).
|
|
- In [`script`](../yaml/index.md#script).
|
|
|
|
The following example shows [`before_script`](../yaml/index.md#before_script).
|
|
The same commands apply for any solution you implement.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
- docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
before_script:
|
|
- mkdir -p $HOME/.docker
|
|
- echo $DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG > $HOME/.docker/config.json
|
|
script:
|
|
- docker build -t my-docker-image .
|
|
- docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Make Docker-in-Docker builds faster with Docker layer caching
|
|
|
|
When using Docker-in-Docker, Docker downloads all layers of your image every
|
|
time you create a build. Recent versions of Docker (Docker 1.13 and later) can
|
|
use a pre-existing image as a cache during the `docker build` step. This considerably
|
|
speeds up the build process.
|
|
|
|
### How Docker caching works
|
|
|
|
When running `docker build`, each command in `Dockerfile` results in a layer.
|
|
These layers are kept around as a cache and can be reused if there haven't been
|
|
any changes. Change in one layer causes all subsequent layers to be recreated.
|
|
|
|
You can specify a tagged image to be used as a cache source for the `docker build`
|
|
command by using the `--cache-from` argument. Multiple images can be specified
|
|
as a cache source by using multiple `--cache-from` arguments. Any image that's used
|
|
with the `--cache-from` argument must first be pulled
|
|
(using `docker pull`) before it can be used as a cache source.
|
|
|
|
### Docker caching example
|
|
|
|
Here's a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that shows how to use Docker caching:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
- docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
# Use TLS https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_build.html#tls-enabled
|
|
DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2376
|
|
DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
|
|
|
|
before_script:
|
|
- docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER -p $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
|
|
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
script:
|
|
- docker pull $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest || true
|
|
- docker build --cache-from $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest --tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA --tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest .
|
|
- docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
|
|
- docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the `script` section for the `build` stage:
|
|
|
|
1. The first command tries to pull the image from the registry so that it can be
|
|
used as a cache for the `docker build` command.
|
|
1. The second command builds a Docker image by using the pulled image as a
|
|
cache (see the `--cache-from $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest` argument) if
|
|
available, and tags it.
|
|
1. The last two commands push the tagged Docker images to the container registry
|
|
so that they may also be used as cache for subsequent builds.
|
|
|
|
## Use the OverlayFS driver
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
The shared runners on GitLab.com use the `overlay2` driver by default.
|
|
|
|
By default, when using `docker:dind`, Docker uses the `vfs` storage driver which
|
|
copies the file system on every run. This is a disk-intensive operation
|
|
which can be avoided if a different driver is used, for example `overlay2`.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure a recent kernel is used, preferably `>= 4.2`.
|
|
1. Check whether the `overlay` module is loaded:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo lsmod | grep overlay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you see no result, then it isn't loaded. To load it use:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo modprobe overlay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If everything went fine, you need to make sure module is loaded on reboot.
|
|
On Ubuntu systems, this is done by editing `/etc/modules`. Just add the
|
|
following line into it:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
overlay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use the OverlayFS driver per project
|
|
|
|
You can enable the driver for each project individually by using the `DOCKER_DRIVER`
|
|
[CI/CD variable](../yaml/index.md#variables) in `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use the OverlayFS driver for every project
|
|
|
|
If you use your own [runners](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/), you
|
|
can enable the driver for every project by setting the `DOCKER_DRIVER`
|
|
environment variable in the
|
|
[`[[runners]]` section of the `config.toml` file](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runners-section):
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
environment = ["DOCKER_DRIVER=overlay2"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're running multiple runners, you have to modify all configuration files.
|
|
|
|
Read more about the [runner configuration](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/)
|
|
and [using the OverlayFS storage driver](https://docs.docker.com/storage/storagedriver/overlayfs-driver/).
|
|
|
|
## Docker alternatives
|
|
|
|
To build Docker images without enabling privileged mode on the runner, you can
|
|
use one of these alternatives:
|
|
|
|
- [`kaniko`](using_kaniko.md).
|
|
- [`buildah`](https://github.com/containers/buildah).
|
|
|
|
For example, with `buildah`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Some details from https://major.io/2019/05/24/build-containers-in-gitlab-ci-with-buildah/
|
|
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
image: quay.io/buildah/stable
|
|
variables:
|
|
# Use vfs with buildah. Docker offers overlayfs as a default, but buildah
|
|
# cannot stack overlayfs on top of another overlayfs filesystem.
|
|
STORAGE_DRIVER: vfs
|
|
# Write all image metadata in the docker format, not the standard OCI format.
|
|
# Newer versions of docker can handle the OCI format, but older versions, like
|
|
# the one shipped with Fedora 30, cannot handle the format.
|
|
BUILDAH_FORMAT: docker
|
|
# You may need this workaround for some errors: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70438141/1233435
|
|
BUILDAH_ISOLATION: chroot
|
|
FQ_IMAGE_NAME: "${CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE}/test"
|
|
before_script:
|
|
# Log in to the GitLab container registry
|
|
- export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=${HOME}/auth.json
|
|
- echo "$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD" | buildah login -u "$CI_REGISTRY_USER" --password-stdin $CI_REGISTRY
|
|
script:
|
|
- buildah images
|
|
- buildah build -t $FQ_IMAGE_NAME
|
|
- buildah images
|
|
- buildah push $FQ_IMAGE_NAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Use the GitLab Container Registry
|
|
|
|
After you've built a Docker image, you can push it up to the built-in
|
|
[GitLab Container Registry](../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md#build-and-push-by-using-gitlab-cicd).
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### `docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://docker:2375. Is the docker daemon running?`
|
|
|
|
This is a common error when you are using
|
|
[Docker-in-Docker](#use-docker-in-docker)
|
|
v19.03 or later.
|
|
|
|
This issue occurs because Docker starts on TLS automatically.
|
|
|
|
- If this is your first time setting it up, read
|
|
[use the Docker executor with the Docker image](#use-docker-in-docker).
|
|
- If you are upgrading from v18.09 or earlier, read our
|
|
[upgrade guide](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2019/07/31/docker-in-docker-with-docker-19-dot-03/).
|
|
|
|
This error can also occur with the [Kubernetes executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html#using-dockerdind) when attempts are made to access the Docker-in-Docker service before it has had time to fully start up. For a more detailed explanation, see [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/27215).
|
|
|
|
### Docker `no such host` error
|
|
|
|
You may get an error that says
|
|
`docker: error during connect: Post https://docker:2376/v1.40/containers/create: dial tcp: lookup docker on x.x.x.x:53: no such host`.
|
|
|
|
This issue can occur when the service's image name
|
|
[includes a registry hostname](../../ci/services/index.md#available-settings-for-services). For example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
- registry.hub.docker.com/library/docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A service's hostname is [derived from the full image name](../../ci/services/index.md#accessing-the-services).
|
|
However, the shorter service hostname `docker` is expected.
|
|
To allow service resolution and access, add an explicit alias for the service name `docker`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: docker:20.10.16
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
- name: registry.hub.docker.com/library/docker:20.10.16-dind
|
|
alias: docker
|
|
```
|
