Prerequisites

Mar 09, 2021 As you can see, docker-ce is not installed, so we can move on to the next step. Install Docker on Ubuntu 18.04. We are almost done. Use the apt command to install Docker: sudo apt install docker-ce 6. Check Docker Status. Once the installation is complete, it is a good idea to check the status of the service: sudo systemctl status docker. The Docker Desktop installation includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Notary, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper. Install and run Docker Desktop on Mac Double-click Docker.dmg to open the installer, then drag the Docker icon to the Applications folder.

If you want to use the Docker executor, make sure to install Docker beforeusing GitLab Runner. Read how to install Docker for your distribution.

APT pinning

A native package called gitlab-ci-multi-runner is available inDebian Stretch. By default, when installing gitlab-runner, that packagefrom the official repositories will have a higher priority.

If you want to use our package, you should manually set the source ofthe package. The best way is to add the pinning configuration file.

If you do this, the next update of the GitLab Runner package - whether it willbe done manually or automatically - will be done using the same source:

Sometimes the default skeleton (skel) directorycauses issues for GitLab Runner,and it fails to run a job. When installing GitLab Runner, set the environment variableGITLAB_RUNNER_DISABLE_SKEL to true before you install the package. This will createthe $HOME directory without the files inside of skel:
