CI Job with Node + Docker Compose - node.js

Question

I have a GitHub Workflow which I also want to run on GitLab CI:
name: Node.js CI
on:
push:
branches:
- '*'
pull_request:
branches:
- master
jobs:
lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
name: Lint
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- uses: actions/setup-node#v1
with:
node-version: '12'
- run: yarn
- run: yarn lint
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
name: Build + Test
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- uses: actions/setup-node#v1
with:
node-version: '12'
- run: yarn
- run: yarn build
- run: yarn test
I tried to setup a new job using the Docker executor template:
docker-build:
# Use the official docker image.
image: docker:latest
stage: build
services:
- docker:dind
before_script:
- docker login -u "$CI_REGISTRY_USER" -p "$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD" $CI_REGISTRY
# Default branch leaves tag empty (= latest tag)
# All other branches are tagged with the escaped branch name (commit ref slug)
script:
- |
if [[ "$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH" == "$CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH" ]]; then
tag=""
echo "Running on default branch '$CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH': tag = 'latest'"
else
tag=":$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG"
echo "Running on branch '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH': tag = $tag"
fi
- docker build --pull -t "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE${tag}" .
- docker push "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE${tag}"
# Run this job in a branch where a Dockerfile exists
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
exists:
- Dockerfile
I modified it to install node:12 and docker-compose but it doesn't work and it feels wrong doing this. Is there an easier/correct way of running Node.js, Docker and docker-compose in the GitLab CI job?
That's what I tried but as said, it fails:
docker-build:
# Use the official docker image.
image: docker:latest
stage: build
services:
- docker:dind
before_script:
- docker --version
- echo "shell" $0
- uname -a
- dnf -y install curl
- curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | sh
- export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
- nvm install 12
- nvm use 12
- curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
- chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
- docker-compose --version
# Default branch leaves tag empty (= latest tag)
# All other branches are tagged with the escaped branch name (commit ref slug)
script:
- echo "hello world"
Result:

Update: the answer by Aritra got me a bit further but it's still not working:

=> Create one of them and run this script again
OR

Answer 1

dnf is fedora specific. It's RPM package manager.
if you see the Dockerfile of docker:latest you can see that it's using alpine.
FROM alpine:3.13
RUN apk add --no-cache \
ca-certificates \
# DOCKER_HOST=ssh://... -- https://github.com/docker/cli/pull/1014
openssh-client
# set up nsswitch.conf for Go's "netgo" implementation (which Docker explicitly uses)
# - https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/blob/v17.09.0-ce/components/engine/hack/make.sh#L149
# - https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.9.1/src/net/conf.go#L194-L275
# - docker run --rm debian:stretch grep '^hosts:' /etc/nsswitch.conf
RUN [ ! -e /etc/nsswitch.conf ] && echo 'hosts: files dns' > /etc/nsswitch.conf
ENV DOCKER_VERSION 20.10.7
So instead of dnf you would need to do:
apk add curl
