gitlab-runner docker: command not found

[Trenton]

I'm trying to build docker container using GitLab runner. (lead dev left company, and now I have no idea how to do it.)

I'll share everything I can.

Build output

as I understand from output runner is assigned correctly, the problem is with docker

the runner is running as Shell executor

here is .gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - build
  - deploy
variables:

STACK_NAME: isnta_api

VERSION: ${CI_COMMIT_TAG}

IMAGE_NAME: ${DOCKER_REGISTRY}/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}:${CI_COMMIT_TAG}
before_script:

echo $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD | docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER $CI_REGISTRY --password-stdin
echo $STACK_NAME
echo $CI_REGISTRY
echo $IMAGE_NAME

build:

stage: build

only:

- tags

script:

- docker build -f Dockerfile -t ${IMAGE_NAME}  .

- docker push ${IMAGE_NAME}
deploy:

stage: deploy

only:

- tags

script:

- docker stack deploy --with-registry-auth --compose-file docker-compose.yml ${STACK_NAME}

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.7'
services:

app:

container_name: ${STACK_NAME}

image: ${IMAGE_NAME}

environment:

PORT: 4042

APP_ENV: production

INSTAGRAM_API_KEY: de194cf559msh8d940d38fd1ca47p129005jsnc11b4fd77a36

INSTAGRAM_API_HOST_NAME: instagram-bulk-profile-scrapper.p.rapidapi.com

INSTAGRAM_API_BASE_URL: https://instagram-bulk-profile-scrapper.p.rapidapi.com/clients/api/ig/

networks:

- nxnet

ports:

- 4042:4042

deploy:

replicas: 1

update_config:

order: start-first
networks:

nxnet:

external: true

and Dockerfile

FROM node:14-alpine
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app

RUN apk add --no-cache bash

RUN npm install
RUN npm run build
CMD npm run start:prod

Any suggestions or tips would be valuable. Thank you in advance

Do you know for sure if Docker is installed on the machine/VM that has the runner on it? Depending on your setup, you can SSH into the machines that host the Gitlab runners and just do docker --version.

If it's not on there, then you will need to visit https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ and add it.

I ran into the same situation, coming into a project that used GitLab runners with no prior experience - at the end of the day, a GitLab runner is just a program that can run on any machine. Depending on how your CI/CD is configured, it may be on a development VM, server, workstation, etc. Good luck!
