I spent hours trying to get this done, but on the basis of this video I finally managed. Thanks!

I'm just going to start searching YouTube before going to Google or stack overflow. 🤣

I just spent the better part of two days trying to figure out how to cleanly accomplish what you just did in minutes. Thanks!

[BradleyHerbst]

Excellent video. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[EViL]

I was a little sceptical when I saw the length of the video - But actually its a great format, precise and to the point..

[MrJatan]

Nice reproducible example and simply explained. This is amazing. Thanks mate!

[specthanatos]

Great and clear explanation! I guess it's the name that does it :).

Thank you Valentin! Its short and very well explained tutorial. I would like to ask how we can combine this for also pushing images into AWS ECR with specified tags.

How did you get the container registry beacuse i am not able to get it in my git lab. whare those variable set which is use in docker login.

Hi Bro I have scenario like..I have pom.xml.and simple hello world application in gitlab...need to create dockerfile and docker image need to build automatically....and need to create .gitlab-ci.yml...then after we need to mention our ubuntu vm ssh credtional..then that hello world will publish in server

[mxgundy]

Hi Valentin, thank you for going over this, it makes a bit more sense. I do have a question. Within the gitlab-ci.yml file, I am wanting to build an image and run unit tests then get the result of those tests to output within the 'Jobs' portion of ci, any suggestions on how to do that? I know you can run unit tests using the Dockerfile file directly in your app, but that isn't what im after in the instance.

Thanks very usefull, need somemore videos on how to deploy to Aks or Eks.

[antoniomarques]

Thanks for share!
How about having two stages (build and deploy) where deploy stage is responsible to push image only if is a merge request, branch master and have tags using cached image ? Note, build and deeply will run in different runners.

[BhagyaLakshmi-cqiu]

Thanks for video, It is really useful, but in my pipeline i am getting Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? error

[kayakfx]

Very useful content. I have a question. Can I add output(artifacts) from the build stage into the docker image?

[naheliegend]

[thourayasboui]

[antonypraveen]

[Jdiddy]

What are the pros/cons of building docker images this way versus using the shell executor?
