Runners dont pick any job in my self hosted installation of gitlab

How to Use GitLab
, ,
1

I have a fresh installation of gitlab selft hosted, currently I’m trying to install the runner and execute a basic demo execution… the file is this

# see https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html for all available options
# you can delete this line if you're not using Docker
image: busybox:latest

build1:
  tags:
    - demo
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "Do your build here"

test1:
  tags:
    - demo
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "Do a test here"
    - echo "For example run a test suite"

test2:
  tags:
    - demo
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "Do another parallel test here"
    - echo "For example run a lint test"

deploy1:
  tags:
    - demo
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - echo "Do your deploy here"

This is basically a simplification of the bash demo in the gitlab documentation… and also I have a runner with this configuration

concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "runner 1595933570"
  url = "http://gamelounge.tech/"
  token = "tcCpnejHnNeEb8jE5txk"
  executor = "docker+machine"
  [runners.custom_build_dir]
  [runners.cache]
    [runners.cache.s3]
    [runners.cache.gcs]
  [runners.docker]
    tls_verify = false
    image = "alpine:latest"
    privileged = false
    disable_entrypoint_overwrite = false
    oom_kill_disable = false
    disable_cache = false
    volumes = ["/cache"]
    shm_size = 0
  [runners.machine]
    IdleCount = 0
    MachineDriver = ""
    MachineName = ""
    OffPeakTimezone = ""
    OffPeakIdleCount = 0
    OffPeakIdleTime = 0

But the jobs are never take it… never start… is like stuck, also if I execute the runner health-check, I got this

ubuntu@ip-10-0-10-185:~$ sudo gitlab-runner health-check

as additional info journalctl -u gitlab-runner

Hi, have you successfully registered the runner?

Thanks for jumping in to support, @alexk!

Hi! Was this solved? I have the exact same problem.

Hi @LucaIcaro, the same question: have you successfully registered the runner?

Hi @alexk, you are right, I configured it wrong.

Just to explain what I get wrong (maybe it can help other people looking for the same reason), I simply supposed that I could register a runner using --config <file.toml> , using a custom toml file, to configure it with the options I wanted. In reality, config.toml file must be changed after the registration, and the token field should be the runner token that gitlab provides to the runner after the registration, not the one that is needed to register the runner.
Now it works, and I will look into template files for runners instead.
