mawalu/hetzner-gitlab-runner repository overview

⁠Auto-scale CI jobs with Gitlab Runner and the Hetzner Docker Machine driver

With this patched GitLab Runner image, you can auto-scale your CI jobs on Hetzner Cloud. The patch installs the Hetzner Docker Machine driver⁠ and is available on Docker Hub⁠.

You can follow the official GitLab docs⁠ for configuring the GitLab Runner with docker machine, just use this image as a drop in replacement for gitlab/gitlab-runner.

See the example config.toml and docker-compose.yaml below for the hetzner specific docker machine options.

⁠Usage

Use this image⁠ instead of the gitlab/gitlab-runner image and set MachineDriver to hetzner in your runner configuration.

Example config.toml:

concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "docker-machine"
  url = "https://gitlab.com"
  token = "your-token"
  executor = "docker+machine"
  [runners.docker]
    tls_verify = false
    image = "docker:latest"
    privileged = true
    disable_cache = false
    volumes = ["/cache"]
    shm_size = 536870912
  [runners.cache]
  [runners.machine]
    IdleCount = 0
    IdleTime = 1800
    MaxBuilds = 10
    MachineDriver = "hetzner"
    MachineName = "runner-%s"
    MachineOptions = [
      "hetzner-api-token=hetzner-api-token",
      "hetzner-image=ubuntu-18.04",
      "hetzner-server-type=cx31",
    ]

Example docker-compose.yaml:

version: "3.8"

services:
  hetzner-runner:
    image: mawalu/hetzner-gitlab-runner:latest
    volumes:
      - "./hetzner_config:/etc/gitlab-runner"
⁠Docker Errors

If you face docker problems at runtime (such as the one below), you can specify a Docker version in the MachineOptions.

 MachineOptions = [
      "engine-install-url=https://releases.rancher.com/install-docker/19.03.9.sh",
    ]

Possible error that is caused by Docker:

ERROR: Error creating machine: Error running provisioning: Unable to verify the Docker daemon is listening: Maximum number of retries (10) exceeded  driver=hetzner name=runner-xxx-xxx operation=create

See this issue⁠ for more information.

⁠Versions

Currently this image is build using the gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest image and the latest docker-machine hetzner plugin. If you need builds for another version feel free to open an PR.
