G'day @shreya gaikwad and welcome to the community.

May I know what type of runner you are using and would it be possible to share your YML? I wish to review your YML config to further understand why you are getting the error. 

Please remove any credentials etc before sharing the YML.

Hi @shreya gaikwad 

Thanks for the update. It looks like you are using docker in steps, but you did not specify docker services in the YAML; hence your steps were failing:

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        runs-on: 
          - 'self.hosted'
          - 'my.custom.label'
        services:
          - docker
        script:
          - docker run alpine 

 For more information, please check our documentation at:

Hi Syahrul,

I have tried that also but still I was facing different error.

Once again I tried as you told ,I have copied the yml which you shared and put my runner name.

pipelines:

default:

- step:

runs-on:

- 'self.hosted'

- 'linux.shell'

services:

- docker

script:

- docker run alpine

Still getting the error as below:

The Docker feature is not supported on this self-hosted runner's platform.

Hi @shreya gaikwad 

Looks like you are using a Linux shell that doesn't support a Service container. Could you switch your runner to Linux docker instead and let me know if that works?

Thank you Syahrul.
