Selfhosted runner, cannot use docker commands.

[Kristian Overgaard]

I've run into a problem where a selfhosted runner, no longer works with docker commands. 

I'm using a Linux runner, and adds docker with the services: docker in the bitbucket pipelines yml. 

It worked back in version 1.364

Runner matching labels:

- linux

- self.hosted

Runner name: Stat Migration Runner

Runner labels: statapi, self.hosted, linux

Runner version:

current: 1.364

latest: 1.364

where it uses a build and docker image:

Images used:

build: atlassian/default-image@sha256:5ce8190e86ba11a8e935735ad2059524b020a0a6f652ff4df614353329af0c07

On the newest version 1.371 it doesn't use the docker image:

extract from pipelines yml: (apologies for formatting, not sure how to add code blocks or no-format blocks. )

pipelines:

branches:

'master':

  - step:

name: 'Build and push'

script:

  - docker version

services:

  - docker

  - step:

name: 'Database Migration'

runs-on:

  - self.hosted

  - linux

script:

  - docker version

services:

  - docker

Hi @Kristian Overgaard,

Welcome to the community.

While using the latest version of Linux Docker runners, would it be possible for you to try to use the image docker:dind as your Docker image as a service?

You can add the "definitions:" configuration below to your YAML file above the "pipelines:" config.

definitions:
   services:
      docker:
         image: docker:dind

pipelines:
  branches:
    'master':
          - step:
..........................................

Once done, try to run builds again.
Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Mark C

@Mark C I took over from Kristian and have changed the config as per your suggestion. I also recreated the runner and now it runs as expected. 

Thanks.

Hi @Michael Herzog

Great. Glad to know it works.

Do let me know if you have further questions that I can help with and feel free to mark this question as answered as well.

Hi @Mark C 

I am also facing the same problem. But your above solution did not fix the problem for me. I am getting error "The Docker feature is not supported on this self-hosted runner's platform.". The error screenshot is attached below.

Below is my bitbucket-pipelines.yml

definitions:

services:

docker:

image: docker:dind

pipelines:

default:

- step:

name: 'Step1'

runs-on:

- self.hosted

- linux.shell

script:

- echo "1.This step of pipeline will run on a self hosted runner.";

- docker version

- echo "2.This step of dtf-chain-handler pipeline, has successfully executed.";

services:

- docker

I am facing big challenges of running docker commands from my self-hosted, linux-shell runner. I have been looking for solution for this problem for several days, but I could not get any solution online even not in Atlassian docs. Please provide the solution for this as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Ramesh
