Selfhosted runner, cannot use docker commands.

Kristian Overgaard_3aiyoh

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

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
