How do I fix a Gitlab Runner install error? – Debian

I have my own GitLab-Instance set up and wanted to install GitLab-Runner on my Instance.

I followed the docs (https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-manually.html) but I am stuck after downloading the package with curl -LJO "https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/deb/gitlab-runner_x84_64.deb".

Because after the curl, dpkg -i gitlab-runner_x84_64.deb is throwing an error which says, that gitlab-runner_x84_64 is not an archive in Debian-Format, and that the dpkg-deb –control subprocess is returning errorcode 2.

How do I fix this?

My VM runs Debian 10.

Thanks in advance!

    Okey, so it turns out that apparently the curl -LJO "https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/deb/gitlab-runner_x84_64.deb" download was defect.

    I have now used a different URL (from https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/index.html) and the installation worked.

    You have a similar error in this thread

    It turns out the oldest version available in the repos for focal is 13.2.0. So I reverted the gitlab to bionic:

    deb https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/ubuntu/ bionic main
deb-src https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/ubuntu/ bionic main

    To my surprise, the upgrade to 13.0.0 has just finished without problems. I can now go further to upgrade it to the latest. And switch it to focal when I get to 13.2.0.

    In your case, since you are using debian 10 "buster", you might need to adjust the repo accordingly, as in here, knowing that Debian Buster is not be supported until GitLab 12.2.

    You should use the following command described on the website :

    wget --content-disposition https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/packages/debian/buster/gitlab-ce_13.8.1-ce.0_amd64.deb/download.deb

    Dowloading the .deb package gitlab-ce_13.8.1-ce.0_amd64.deb for debian 10 (Buster).
