How to launch runner and gitlab running locally using docker-compose

How to Use GitLab
1

Hi all,

I have the following docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  gitlab:
    image: gitlab/gitlab-ce:13.6.5-ce.0
    environment:
      GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
        external_url 'http://gitlab'
        gitlab_rails['initial_root_password'] = "password"
        gitlab_rails['initial_shared_runners_registration_token'] = "token"
    ports:
      - 8929:80

  gitlab-runner:
    image: gitlab/gitlab-runner:alpine
    container_name: gitlab-runner
    depends_on:
      - gitlab
    restart: always
  #  command: ["gitlab-runner", "register", "--non-interactive", '--executor "docker"', '--docker-image alpine:latest', '--url "http://gitlab"', '--registration-token "token"', '--description "docker-runner"', '--tag-list "docker,aws"', '--run-untagged="true"', '--locked="false"', '--access-level="not_protected"']
    volumes:
      - /Users/Shared/gitlab-runner/config:/etc/gitlab-runner
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Forget about the command on gitlab-runner. I’m running it afterwards, and the runner registers on gitlab.
However the jobs fails with the following error:

fatal: unable to access ‘http://gitlab/root/the-metamorphosis.git/’: Could not resolve host: gitlab

17ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

But inside the gitlab-runner container I can do: git clone http://gitlab/root/the-metamorphosis.git/ successfully after putting the username and password.

Any ideia of what could be wrong on this setup?
Thanks.

Where are the failing jobs executed? Guest or host?

I don’t know. What do you mean by Guest or host?

Here is the full stack of job:

The runners throws a new container (runner-4lruaafx-project-2-concurrent-0 via e6af851a0d2a) to run the job. It seems that this new container is on a different network.

How can this be avoided?
