Getting docker error while using shell gitlab-runner ERRO[0000]

Hello I got this error at the installation, when I use the command "gitlab-runner run" or "gitlab-runner start":

ERRO[0000] Docker executor: prebuilt image helpers will be loaded from /var/lib/gitlab-runner

The strange thing about it is, I using a shell runner. I also tried on another server with no problems. Even I tried it with a docker build and without.

I installed via

apt install gitlab-runner

Also I upgraded it and updated also. Rebuild the server (digitalocean droplet Ubuntu20.04)) and jep ... dont know what is going on.

Here also some output og the gitlab-runner:

root@Server:~# gitlab-runner verify
ERRO[0000] Docker executor: prebuilt image helpers will be loaded from /var/lib/gitlab-runner.
Running in system-mode.

Verifying runner... is alive                        runner=xVNzfox5

root@Server:~# gitlab-runner list
ERRO[0000] Docker executor: prebuilt image helpers will be loaded from /var/lib/gitlab-runner.
Listing configured runners                          ConfigFile=/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml

All I found about this error was about docker runner, but like I said I use a shell runner.

Thanks if someone can help.

Using this command apt-cache policy gitlab-runner, you will notice that only version 11.2.0 of gitlab-runner is available on the repositories, which is not supported by Gitlab.

Follow the official documentation to install the latest version 14.2.0.

$ sudo curl -L --output /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner "https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/binaries/gitlab-runner-linux-amd64"
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner
$ sudo useradd --comment 'GitLab Runner' --create-home gitlab-runner --shell /bin/bash
$ # Optional sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/gitlab-runner.service
$ sudo gitlab-runner install --user=gitlab-runner --working-directory=/home/gitlab-runner

I have the same problem since the last update of gitlab-cc.

Found this related post which helped:

Gitlab-runner without Docker

So just disable shared runners (until someone fixes this issue ;)

I was having the same problem with gitlab-runner version 13.x.

Updating to version 14.2.0 solved the problem.
