Hi,
Here's how I run GitLab CI jobs locally in unprivileged podman
containers (I really would prefer not to run a Docker daemon on my
laptop). In a nutshell:
1. Install necessary packages:
sudo apt install gitlab-runner podman-docker mmdebstrap
2. Create a suitable gitlab-runner-helper container
I used the attached script, heavily based on
/usr/lib/gitlab-runner/mk-prebuilt-images.sh
Run it as your normal user, not as root.
3. Profit!
For example:
gitlab-runner exec docker --docker-host "unix:///run/user/$(id
-u)/podman/podman.sock" check-po-meta-date
Disclaimers
===========
- I had to pin the docker.io package to -1, because it's recommended
by docker-compose, which is itself recommended by podman-docker.
Otherwise you end up with a Docker daemon.
- This is from memory and there might be missing steps. It could be
nice if someone reproduced this, fixed whatever needs to be fixed,
and migrated it into /contribute/ on our website.
- Some stuff is hardcoded in the attached script (GitLab runner
version, HTTP proxy), which is not ideal.
- If it's not running yet, you might need to explicitly enable the
podman.socket user unit:
systemctl --user --now enable podman.socket
Cheers!
