Run jobs inside of a Docker container.
cd into strider deployment and run npm install strider-docker-runner
If you need to install Docker, see the official installation instructions
The default image is strider/strider-docker-slave -- it is recommended to docker pull strider/strider-docker-slave directly on the Docker host, however the plugin will do this for you as of PR#22.
If Docker is running on the same machine as Strider, you do not need to add any additional environment variables -- the plugin will try to use unix:///var/run/docker.sock to communicate with Docker. Make sure Strider has permission to do so, otherwise you will get errors when running a build.
If Docker is running on a remote machine, you will need to use the Docker Remote API and let Strider know about it by setting DOCKER_HOST accordingly. e.g. DOCKER_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:4243 strider You can also override this value in the runner config per-project branch.
Once Strider is running, go to your project's plugin config page and you will be able to select the Docker runner. You can also configure the Runner to use a different, custom base image. You may even combine this feature with strider-docker-build to fully automate changes to the base image.
It uses the standard Docker environment variable DOCKER_HOST
Examples:
DOCKER_HOST="http://127.0.0.1:4243"
DOCKER_HOST="unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
DOCKER_HOST="tcp://127.0.0.1:4243"
You are not required to set DOCKER_HOST globally. You may choose to configure this value per project through the plugin config page.
If DOCKER_HOST is not set and the value is also not configured in the plugin config page, it defaults to unix:///var/run/docker.sock
If you are working with remote docker containers, it is advised to use Dockers TLS security options. For client setup please see the official documentation
Example
DOCKER_HOST="tcp://127.0.0.1:4243"
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
DOCKER_CERT_PATH=~/stridercd/certs
Be sure to enable TLS on the Daemon as well. More information at http://docs.docker.com/articles/https/
See this comment in the "prepare" phase telling you that docker is alive
