Hey need some help here with getting gitlab-runner working with a Windows 10 Virtualbox. I am using a gitlab-runner user on a Ubuntu 16.04 to run the gitlab-runner application and then submit a CI job from gitlab to it. However every time I try to do it it fails with an empty reason. I’m assuming this is realted to SSH somehow but I cannot figure out what it is. I have tested the snapshot I’m using independently to verify that the SSH server is running and my user can connect properly which it does. So I know the general setup is correct. But due to the non-useful error message I am completely stunned as to what could be going wrong. Any pointers will be helpful.
$> gitlab-runner --version
Version: 11.7.0
Git revision: 8bb608ff
Git branch: 11-7-stable
GO version: go1.8.7
Built: 2019-01-22T11:46:13+0000
OS/Arch: linux/amd64
This is my config.toml:
concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0[session_server]
session_timeout = 1800[[runners]]
name = “u1604-64-windows-gitlab-runner”
url = “https://gitlab-master.local.com/”
token = “”
executor = “virtualbox”
[runners.ssh]
user = “builder”
password = “test123”
[runners.virtualbox]
base_name = “Windows10-VM”
base_snapshot = “gitlab-runner-snapshot”
disable_snapshots = false
[runners.cache]
[runners.cache.s3]
[runners.cache.gcs]
I’m running the gitlab-runner as the local user gitlab-runner via:
gitlab-runner@u1604-64:~$ gitlab-runner -l debug run
