Gitlab runner failed to run non-80 port

GitLab CI/CD

Background

I’ve read this post, and it seems that’s not applying in my specific case.

I’m running gitlab in docker with command:

sudo docker pull gitlab/gitlab-ce

mkdir -pv /data/gitlab

sudo docker run --detach \
  --hostname 192.168.86.1 \
  --shm-size 1024m \
  -p 50443:443 \
  -p 50080:80 \
  -p 50022:22 \
  --name gitlab \
  --restart always \
  -v /data/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
  -v /data/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
  -v /data/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime \
  gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

I can access it after installation via http://192.168.86.1:50080/

For the runner, I follow the instruction from gitlab, and installed it in a KVM machine:

# Download the binary for your system
sudo curl -L --output /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/binaries/gitlab-runner-linux-amd64

# Give it permission to execute
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner

# Create a GitLab Runner user
sudo useradd --comment 'GitLab Runner' --create-home gitlab-runner --shell /bin/bash

# Install and run as a service
sudo gitlab-runner install --user=gitlab-runner --working-directory=/home/gitlab-runner
sudo gitlab-runner start

And registered it:

sudo gitlab-runner register --url http://192.168.86.1:50080/ --registration-token GR1348941zXXXXX

And with config.toml:

$ sudo cat /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml
concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0
shutdown_timeout = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "gitlab runner in kvm"
  url = "http://192.168.86.1:50080/"
  id = 1
  token = "GR1348941zXXXXX
  token_obtained_at = 2023-03-27T07:47:27Z
  token_expires_at = 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z
  executor = "shell"

[[runners]]
  name = "ub01"
  url = "http://192.168.86.1:50080/"
  id = 2
  token = "m-wUqDXXXXX"
  token_obtained_at = 2023-03-28T02:22:53Z
  token_expires_at = 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z
  executor = "shell"
  [runners.cache]
    MaxUploadedArchiveSize = 0

But got errors when running CI:

PS

I did try to change the external_url field in gitlab.rb, but then gitlab web page failed to load.

external_url 'http://192.168.86.1:50080'

According to GitLab Runner : Failing to clone repository: gitlab running @ Custom port - #2 by ariel.barria

Now it works by adding clone_url.
