Bitbucket Pipeline, docker runner connection issue

Question

Hello, I'm trying to connect an external docker runner (x86_64) to Bitbucket, I succeed in Linux Shell mode, but when I try to set up in docker mode the connection fails with the following exception:

if I run the following command:

I'm using a custom connection without firewalls.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Josep Castro ,

The certificates should be added to the JVM of the machine where you are executing the runner. In addition, please ensure that you have OpenJDK 11 (version 11.0.15 or newer) installed.

Hi Patrik, thanks in advance for the response

Should I add the public SSL certificate into the JVM of my host computer? or the container?

I'm using the official docker image

Hello @Josep Castro and welcome to the Community!

The error at the begging of the logs indicates an issue with the validation of the certificate.

This error can occur when the runner is using a certificate issued by a certificate authority whose root and intermediate certificates are not present in your JDK.

The issue can be  resolved by importing the certificate as per the following knowledge base article:

* How to import a public SSL certificate into a JVM

Thank you, @Josep Castro !
