An howto on systemd with a Debian stretch/buster docker container and Gitlab.
|

|
|
|
|
Find all code on Github [stretch](https://github.com/jochumdev/proxmox-dockerfiles/tree/master/stretch-systemd) and [buster](https://github.com/jochumdev/proxmox-dockerfiles/tree/master/buster-systemd).
|
|
|
|
### Debian Stretch
|
|
|
|
This didn't work at all with systemd from Debian stretch, but as i knew from my LXD experience systemd in stretch is buggy with containers,
|
|
so i tried systemd from [stretch-backports](https://github.com/jochumdev/proxmox-dockerfiles/blob/master/stretch-systemd/Dockerfile#L18) which worked well.
|
|
|
|
Now to have systemd finaly working in a stretch container you need to mount a tmpfs into /run and /run/lock else systemd tries to mount those - fails with permission denied and freezes.
|
|
|
|
Also you need to bind-mount cgroups into the stretch container (doing that as "volume").
|
|
|
|
This is the full line to run a Debian 9 container with systemd from backports:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -d -it --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/run --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/run/lock -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro <image>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Debian Buster
|
|
|
|
It's same as with stretch but no backports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Gitlab-runner for both
|
|
|
|
Ok, so we found out that we need:
|
|
|
|
- a tmpfs /run
|
|
- a tmpfs /run/lock
|
|
- cgroup bind-mount
|
|
|
|
gitlab-runner does volumes which means the bind-mount is easy to solve, but what about the tmpfs mounts?
|
|
|
|
After a while a found a feature they call [Mounting a directory in RAM](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#mounting-a-directory-in-ram), which is nothing else than a mount of a tmpfs :)
|
|
|
|
This means we need to add the following to **/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml**:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[runners.docker]
|
|
volumes = ["/sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro", "/cache"]
|
|
[runners.docker.services_tmpfs]
|
|
"/run" = "rw"
|
|
"/run/lock" = "rw"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Easy, isn't it? |
