Gitlab CI/CD pipeline giving Dockerfile error

Question

Good Evening, I am trying to deploy my nodeJS app to my Digital Ocean Server and its saying it cant find my Dockerfile. I did check and the Dockerfile does not have a.txt extension. Any guidance is appreciated. I have my variables set in my Gitlab project. The pipeline throws the below error: "$ chmod og= $ID_RSA chmod: unrecognized option: ---BEGIN BusyBox v1.31.1 () multi-call binary. Usage: chmod [-Rcvf] MODE[,MODE]... FILE... Each MODE is one or more of the letters ugoa, one of the symbols +-= and one or more of the letters rwxst -R Recurse -c List changed files -v List all files -f Hide errors"

 stages: - build - publish - deploy variables: TAG_LATEST: $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME:latest TAG_COMMIT: $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME:$CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA build: image: node:latest stage: build script: - npm install - echo "ACCOUNT_SID=$ACCOUNT_SID" >>.env - echo "AUTH_TOKEN=$AUTH_TOKEN" >>.env - echo "API_KEY=$API_KEY" >>.env - echo "API_SECRET=$API_SECRET" >>.env - echo "PHONE_NUMBER=$PHONE_NUMBER" >>.env - echo "sengrid_api=$sengrid_api" >>.env publish: image: docker:latest stage: publish services: - docker:dind script: - docker build. -t $TAG_COMMIT -t $TAG_LATEST - docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p $CI_BUILD_TOKEN $CI_REGISTRY - docker push $TAG_COMMIT - docker push $TAG_LATEST deploy: image: alpine:latest stage: deploy tags: - deployment script: - chmod og= $ID_RSA - apk update && apk add openssh-client - ssh -i $ID_RSA -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $SERVER_USER@$SERVER_IP "docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p $CI_BUILD_TOKEN $CI_REGISTRY" - ssh -i $ID_RSA -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $SERVER_USER@$SERVER_IP "docker pull $TAG_COMMIT" - ssh -i $ID_RSA -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $SERVER_USER@$SERVER_IP "docker container rm -f my-app || true" - ssh -i $ID_RSA -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $SERVER_USER@$SERVER_IP "docker run -d -p 80:3000 --name my-app $TAG_COMMIT" environment: name: production url: http://167.172.225.124 only: - master

Answer 1

Check first if the docker build argument order is correct:

Instead of:

docker build -t $TAG_COMMIT -t $TAG_LATEST .

I would try:

docker build . -t $TAG_COMMIT -t $TAG_LATEST

Check also you are in the right path when you are running this build command.
And that there is a file named Dockerfile (the default name needed by docker build ).

Regarding the error:

chmod og= $ID_RSA 
chmod: unrecognized option: ---BEGIN

You need to apply chmod on a file, not on a file content .
The variable ID_RSA includes the key itself, not the key filename.

Use ~/.ssh/id_rsa instead of $ID_RSA .

Answer 2

If you have followed this tutorial as I do (which looks to be the case), It looks the tutorial assumes to run on the master branch, protected.

I was running on another branch not protected. So I had to unprotect all variables to work on unprotected branches. The job succeeds immediately.

Answer 3

Make sure your ID_RSA variable is Type: file

Answer 4

chmod og= $ID_RSA 

For me it didn't work because i copied key without breakline symbol in the end,it turned out that is important. Tried many solutions, spent almost a day before i got this /.
