Create a new directory and save the above file inside it as docker-compose.yml. You’ll need to replace the field hostname with the external URL that you’ll use to access your Gitlab instance.

mkdir gitlab
vi gitlab\docker-compose.yml

Run docker-compose up -d to fetch the images from the docker hub and create your Gitlab instance. You’ll be able to access Gitlab from a browser on port 8000 and the SSH on port 8822.

Very helpful, but how do I get the runner to register with the gitlab server?
For example, I run “docker exec -it gitlab-runner bash” and then run “gitlab-runner register” within the runner container, however, it cannot resolve the gitlab hostname that I specified in the docker-compose.yml file.

You have a mistake/typo in port section. – “8822:8822” should be – “8822:22” you want the external set in ‘gitlab_shell_ssh_port’ still point to 22

How does gitlab know about the runner? Don’t you need to specify the gitlab url to the gitlab runner?

    I think it is linked via depends_on

    there is a problem with postgres, when you run on windows. you can try to mount volume instead of folder for /var/opt/gitlab

why docker-compose up run docker container failed?

ERROR: Failed to load config stat /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml: no such file or directory builds=0

    This is a issue. The gitlab-runner need a file called config.toml, and he can.t create it. I figure it out creating this file with permissions ( ch mod 777 ) inside the volume data/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner after the container is running.

why docker compose up run docker container failed.

Hy,

do you lose any data if the docker host restarts?
There are some volumes specified, so in theory no data should be lost.

Hello,
Thx for this docker-compose
But after docker-compose up there’s this error message:
gitlab-runner_1 | ERROR: Failed to load config stat /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml: no such file or directory builds=0

Is not config.toml created after et gitlab-runner register ?
How to execute this docker-compose from scratch ?
Thank you for your help
