nekroze/gitlab-ci-runner repository overview
gitlab-ci-runner
This is a fork of the good gitlab-ci-runner at
http://github.com/Ensequence/dockerfiles and has been redesigned to use arch
linux as a base rather then ubuntu.
1. Installation and SSH Setup
Pull image and configure:
- Enter the URL of your Gitlab CI (ex:
http://192.168.1.1:8080/) - Leave the passphrase blank.
- SSH key location has already been specified (this is intentional)
$ docker pull nekroze/gitlab-ci-runner
$ docker run -i -t nekroze/gitlab-ci-runner /gcr/bin/install
Please type gitlab-ci url (Ex. http://gitlab-ci.org:3000/ )
http://192.168.1.1:8080/
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
Your public key has been saved in /.ssh/id_rsa.pub.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
66:f2:e7:30:d0:b8:7e:b5:0a:a1:54:01:2a:c9:fa:3e root@a2a8a5e8c383
The key's randomart image is:

Please type gitlab-ci runners token:
7a7154771ce1aadd8b08
Runner Token: bcfbefbd0c414f6766c23943f11b65
Runner registered. Feel free to start it
Once you have a container and setup the SSH key, you need to browse to your Gitlab CI and add that runner to at least one project. Alternatively, you can that runner to all of the projects.
2. Ensure SSH Connectivity
Once the install is finished, Docker will close the process. Now, you need to commit the work done above into a new container. To find the result of the previous docker command:
$ docker ps -a | head -n 2
ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS
50a2e96272af nekroze/gitlab-ci-runner:latest /gcr/bin/install 40 seconds ago Exit 0
The "50a2e96272af" is the ID of the container that was just installed. To use it, you want to commit it to a named container. You should pick some sort of name like gitlab-ci-runner
$ docker commit 50a2e96272af gitlab-ci-runner
After committing the container to the new gitlab-ci-runner image, you now must add your Gitlab key fingerprint to the list of known hosts. To do so, start the new image with docker run -i -t gitlab-ci-runner /bin/bash
root@94041103155a:/# ssh [email protected]
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 6c:81:e0:19:e9:72:d0:19:d4:e0:02:ec:6f:5c:8c:9f.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.1' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
2.1 Install testing packages
While the image is active this would be a good time to install any packages you may need for testing your gitlab projects.
root@94041103155a:/# exec >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty </dev/tty
root@94041103155a:/# yaourt -S --noconfirm python-pip
root@94041103155a:/# yaourt -S --noconfirm python-tox
The first line above is a work around for the arch package manager not working correctly inside an interactive docker.
We can now exit the image when we are done.
root@94041103155a:/# exit
Now we need to commit again. This time, let's specify a default command to run upon startup
$ docker ps -a | head -n 2
ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS
94041103155a gitlab-ci-runner:latest /bin/bash 7 minutes ago Exit 130
$ docker commit -run="{\"Cmd\": [\"/gcr/bin/runner\"] }" 94041103155a gitlab-ci-runner
(Don't worry if that looks confusing. The only thing you need to change is 94041103155a to be whatever your hash was.)
3. Check Connectivity
Now, let's make sure we can run the image:
$ docker run -i -t gitlab-ci-runner
* Gitlab CI Runner started
* Waiting for builds
2013-07-12 20:43:54 +0000 | Checking for builds...nothing
Once you see that, you can SIGINT (Ctrl + C) to escape.
Congratulations! Your image is now ready to run.
4. Run as a Daemon
$ docker run -d gitlab-ci-runner
0b1bea0ef359
$ docker ps
ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS
0b1bea0ef359 gitlab-ci-runner:latest /gcr/bin/runner 4 seconds ago Up 3 seconds
Your daemon is now running in the background. You can now send it builds.
