Set default arguments for `gitlab-runner exec docker`?

kinghuang · December 17, 2016, 7:26pm

I’m using gitlab-ci-multi-runner (gitlab-runner) locally to test CI jobs before committing them a repo to run on the actual runners. gitlab-runner exec docker lets me run builds locally using the docker executor. But, I have to provide the arguments to the executor over and over again like so.

gitlab-runner exec docker --docker-volumes "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" --docker-privileged …

Can I set arguments like --docker-volumes and --docker-privileged as a default somewhere? I tried copying the config.toml from the runners to ~/.gitlab-runner/config.toml, but it doesn’t seem to affect local execs.

Have you tried setting privileged = true in your config.toml file?

# Advanced configuration

GitLab Runner configuration uses the [TOML][] format.

The file to be edited can be found in:

1. `/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml` on \*nix systems when gitlab-runner is
   executed as root (**this is also path for service configuration**)
1. `~/.gitlab-runner/config.toml` on \*nix systems when gitlab-runner is
   executed as non-root
1. `./config.toml` on other systems

## The global section

This defines global settings of multi-runner.

| Setting | Description |
| ------- | ----------- |
| `concurrent`     | limits how many jobs globally can be run concurrently. The most upper limit of jobs using all defined runners |
| `check_interval` | defines in seconds how often to check GitLab for a new builds |
