Gitlab CI and Docker Registry Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers

GitLab CI/CD
1

Hello,
i’m trying to reproduce the tuto from this link : https://about.gitlab.com/2016/05/23/gitlab-container-registry/

But when Gitlab is running the CI, i’m getting an error :

As you can see, the Ping and WGet is working but not the Docker Login

The Gitlab CI yml:
image: docker:git
services:
- docker:dind

stages:
- build

variables:
  CONTAINER_TEST_IMAGE: gitlab-registry.mydomain.com:4567/root/mydomain-docker:$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME
  CONTAINER_RELEASE_IMAGE: gitlab-registry.mydomain.com:4567/root/mydomain-docker:latest
  GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY: "true"

before_script:
  - ping -c 4 gitlab-registry.mydomain.com || true
  - docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p $CI_BUILD_TOKEN gitlab-registry.mydomain.com:4567

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - docker build -t $CONTAINER_TEST_IMAGE .
    - docker push $CONTAINER_TEST_IMAGE

Hello,
i fixed the problem by setting:

  • Settings / Account and Limit settings / Session duration : 10000
  • Settings / Container Registry / Authorization token duration : 8000
  • Project settings / CI/CD / General Pipelines settings / Timeout : 800
  • And as i run gitlab behind a reverse proxy, set the “ProxyTimeout 18000” in virtual host setting

Hope it solves your problem too
