GitLab Runner - ERROR: Failed to remove network for build

Question

Here is my gitlab-ci.yml:

image: vibraniumcore/gcc-cmake-boost-mysqlcon
#image: gitlab/dind

stages:
  - test
  - build

Run Tests:
  stage: test
  tags:
    - c++
  script:
    - mkdir build
    - cd build
    - cmake ..
    - cmake --build . --target VibraniumCoreTests
    - cd ./Tests
    - ./VibraniumCoreTests

Build VibraniumCore:
  stage: build
  tags:
    - c++
  script:
    - mkdir build
    - cd build
    - cmake ..
    - cmake --build .

Build AuthServer:
  stage: build
  tags:
  - c++
  script:
    - cd Scripts
    - ./build_authserver.sh

Build WorldServer:
  stage: build
  tags:
  - c++
  script:
    - cd Scripts
    - ./build_worldserver.sh

When I try to run my pipeline I get this error:

Any idea why I get this error and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

This issue is due to the executor="docker" you are using in gitlab runner. try to change to "shell" or "ssh"

Answer 2

If you want to have your runner setup with executor="docker" , you may encounter the "ERROR: Failed to remove network for build" error if you have not installed docker on your machine hosting the runner.

In Ubuntu, try:

sudo apt install docker.io

And then re-run the pipeline.

Answer 3

I had the same issue. I used "sudo gitlab-runner register" instead of "gitlab-runner register" and in my case the issue resolved.
