• Configure the Runner to use Podman. More details in the forum

GitLab Runner config.toml

/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml:

[[runners]]
  name = "Podman Runner"
  executor = "docker"
  # ...
  [runners.docker]
    # ...
    tls_verify = false
    services_privileged = true
    allowed_privileged_services = ["docker:dind"]
    # Replace 1000 with the users id, run `id -u` to get the id
    host = "unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock"
