Hi Serge, it's a grat videe. What to do if my gitlab-runner behind a corporate proxy? i've treid to set up proixy ip int the helm-values.yaml, without success

[@LearnDevOpswithSerge]

Hi, thanks. I've never used runner behind the proxy. I'll try to help you. 1. Do you have connectivity from your corporate network with Gitlab server where you are going to register the runner? Try to check it from another pod or your computer. 2. What version of Gitlab Runner do you use? 3. Can you send me - configuration of the Gitlab Runner or values of your Helm chart - and logs of the gitlab runner? My email is [e-mail]

Hi serge, i have gitlab self hosted like you and i want to deploy gitlab runner on kubernetes, but i have an error in the gitlab runner "failed to verify the runner" . did you do any additional configuration on gitlab self hosted ? Thanks.

[@LearnDevOpswithSerge]

Hi, I only did the steps that I showed in the video. Nothing else. First of all, look at your GitLab runner log. Maybe, there is some additional information in it. Try to recheck your config, values, and network connectivity between the Kubernetes cluster and GitLab Server.

[@kossei8096]

Yes, I think the problem is with network connectivity in the Kubernetes cluster that I deployed via oracle cloud. I tried to curl and ping my self hosted gitlab and the results didn't work but for nslookup it worked. I'm still trying to find out why the pods can't access the internet. wish me luck

Hi serge, I am using gitlab runner through kubernetes executor. The aws eks version is 1.28 But when i am doing docker build its giving docker-daemon not running error. It previously used to work in version 1.23 but now its creating issue. Can you shed some light on it please ?? Thank you !

[@LearnDevOpswithSerge]

Hi, I suppose the reason of your issue that in k8s version 1.24 the dockershim was removed (kubernetes.io/blog/2020/12/02/dockershim-faq/). Try buildah or kaniko to build images. These solutions work without docker daemon.
