Assuming you already have an installed an running Gitlab server, you need to install and configure a GitLab runner:
Install gitlab-runner: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-repository.html
Run the gitlab-runner shell setup, described here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/docker/using_docker_build.html
Get the registration token from the Settings / CI/CD Settings page.
You can now use docker commands in the script section of your .gitlab-ci.yml file defining your pipeline.
After installing gitlab from the omnibus install, use the gitlab-ctl command to query status, and start/stop the gitlab service (see here):
$ sudo gitlab-ctl status
If gitlab’s main service has been disabled, all the sub-services will report ‘runsv not running’:
fail: gitaly: runsv not running
You can reset the main service to run at startup with (see here):
sudo systemctl enable gitlab-runsvdir.serviceTo disable startup at boot:
sudo systemctl disable gitlab-runsvdir.service
If runsvdir is not enabled to start at boot, then start with:
sudo systemctl start gitlab-runsvdir.service
To start/stop gitlab:
$ sudo gitlab-ctl start $ sudo gitlab-ctl stop
After installing GitLab, by default your project urls are @gitlab.example.com:
Your server domain is configured in the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file, as described in the docs here.
To pick up your changes:
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
