GitLab CI runner with access to host Docker daemon. PHP-focused.
Test your code, ideally Docker containers themselves, inside a Dockerized GitLab CI runner. Use the host node's Docker daemon, creating "sibling" containers.
Why not re-use one of the existing images out there?
You'll notice this project helps harmonize the host's docker group gid with the container.
We don't wholesale re-install Docker client in the container when adding some libraries will do.
And writing my own let me understand the tech, better. :-)
The Dockerfile contains variables for specifying particular versions of Engine and Compose;
you may need to adjust the Engine version in particular to match your cloud provider's
current version. At time of writing, that was 1.9.1 for Docker Cloud, though 1.10+
has been available for some time. You may need to fork and adjust the Dockerfile
to meet your needs.
I mostly work in PHP, so it's helpful to install a few tools like composer.
Edit the included docker-compose.yml file with your registration data, then run docker-compose up.
Uncomment the volume mount for /etc/gitlab-runner if you wish to mount and re-use an existing config.
Or, build the Dockerfile and run the image using your favorite orchestration tool.
