how to run a pipeline in gitlab on docker container? closed network error

I have this pipeline that I cant figure out why its running into issues. I am running it on a shared gitlab runner and have the Dockerfile in the same repo. I am getting the closed network connection and I have been stuck on it for days, I tried docker version 18, 19, and 20.

This is to build a custom docker container and deploy the code.

.gitlab-ci.yml

        before_script:
  - docker --version

#image: ubuntu:18.04 #

#services:
#  - docker:18.09.7-dind


stages:          # List of stages for jobs, and their order of execution
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

build-image:
  stage:
    - build
  tags:
    - docker
    - shared

  image: docker:20-dind

  variables:
   DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2375
   DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2
   DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: ""

  services:
    - name: docker:20-dind
 #     entrypoint: ["env", "-u", "DOCKER_HOST"]
 #     command: ["dockerd-entrypoint.sh"]

  script:
    - echo "FROM ubuntu:18.04" > Dockerfile
    - docker build .


unit-test-job:
  tags: 
    - docker   # This job runs in the test stage.
  stage: test    # It only starts when the job in the build stage completes successfully.
  script:
    - echo "Running unit tests... This will take about 60 seconds."
    - sleep 60
    - echo "Code coverage is 90%"

lint-test-job:
  tags: 
    - docker   # This job also runs in the test stage.
  stage: test    # It can run at the same time as unit-test-job (in parallel).
  script:
    - echo "Linting code... This will take about 10 seconds."
    - sleep 10
    - echo "No lint issues found."

deploy-job:
  tags: 
    - docker      # This job runs in the deploy stage.
  stage: deploy  # It only runs when *both* jobs in the test stage complete successfully.
  script:
    - echo "Deploying application..."
    - echo "Application successfully deployed."

    So – you’re trying to build a docker image inside a container.

    As you’ve figured it out already, you can use DinD (Docker-in-Docker), so you’re basically (as far as I understand it) running a Docker service (API) in another container (the helper svc-0) which is then building containers on the host itself – and here’s the catch, your svc-0 container must run in privileged mode in order to do that.

    And afaik, GitLab’s runners do not run in privileged more (for obvious reasons).

    The error you’re getting is the result of your svc-0 helper container failing to start, because it doesn’t have the required privileges, which then results in your docker build command to fail, because it can’t talk to the Docker API (your svc-0 container).

    Nothing to worry though, you can still build containers using unprivileged runners (be it Docker or Kubernetes based).

    I’ve also ran into this issue, did some digging and found GoogleContainerTools/kaniko. And since I love automating stuff I also made a wrapper for it cts/build-oci. It works very nicely with Gitlab CI as it just picks up all required values from predefined variables – you can always overwrite them if needed (like the dockerfile path in this example)

    # A simple pipeline example
build_image:
    image: registry.gitplac.si/cts/build-oci:1.0.4
    script: [ "/build.sh" ]
    variables:
        CTS_BUILD_DOCKERFILE: Dockerfile

    There are two levels of authentication:

    1. runner access to gitlab from .gitlab-ci.yml
    2. runner access to gitlab from within the container

    I always create a Docker directory within each project that holds the Dockerfile + ssh certificates to access gitlab.

    This way I can build the dockerfile from anywhere with docker installed and test it before apllying it to the runner

    Enclosed a simple example where some python scrips push configs to grafana servers (only the test part is enclosed as example)

    Docker/Dockerfile (Docker dir also holds the gitlab.priv + gitlab.publ for a personal gitlab ssh-key that are copied into):

    FROM xxxx.yyyy.zzzz:4567/testtools/python/python:3.10.4

ENV DIR /fido2-grafana
ENV GITREPO [email protected]:id-pro/test/fido2-grafana.git
ENV KEY_GEN_PATH /root/.ssh

SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c", "-l"]

RUN apt update -y && apt upgrade -y

RUN mkdir -p ${KEY_GEN_PATH} && 
    echo "Host xxxx.yyyy.zzzz" > ${KEY_GEN_PATH}/config && 
    echo "StrictHostKeyChecking no" >> ${KEY_GEN_PATH}/config

COPY gitlab.priv ${KEY_GEN_PATH}/id_rsa
COPY gitlab.publ ${KEY_GEN_PATH}/id_rsa.pub
RUN chmod 700 ${KEY_GEN_PATH} && chmod 600 ${KEY_GEN_PATH}/*
RUN apt autoremove -y

RUN git clone ${GITREPO} && cd `echo ${GITREPO##*/} | awk -F'.' '{print $1}'`
RUN cd ${DIR} && pip install -r requirements.txt

WORKDIR ${DIR}

    .gitlab-ci.yml:

    variables:
  TAG: latest
  JOBNAME: fido2-grafana
  MYPATH: $CI_REGISTRY/$CI_PROJECT_NAMESPACE/$CI_PROJECT_NAME/$JOBNAME
