I am searching a solution since 2 weeks on the web and I really need some help.

I am facing 3 problems:

Linux Gitlab-runner is not running

I have been trying to install gilab-runner with all the ways ( GitLab's official repository , manualy , docker ).

Everytime, when I am launching the command "gitlab-runner status" the answer is always "The server is not running." I have tried a million times to uninstall the service and re-install it but I do not want to work. I have register runners of all kind and with/without the sudo user. Without any success. This is my setup server:

Config

Ubuntu 16.04.1

Docker container gitlab 9.4.3

Port:

webservice :8088

https : 4433

ssh : 2222

gitlab-runner 9.5.0

How to reproduce

Launch the command "sudo service gitlab-runner status"

Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gitlab-runner.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since ven. 2017-08-25 15:17:45 CEST; 45s ago Process: 13201 ExecStart=/usr/bin/gitlab-ci-multi-runner run --working-directory /home/gitlab-runner --config /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml --service gitlab-runner --syslog --user gitlab-runner (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 13201 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

systemd 1 : gitlab-runner.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd 1 : gitlab-runner.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Windows gitlab-runner Error 500

Because of my problem to install gitlab-runner in Linux, I have tried to install it on another computer on Windows 10. It worked and finally the commande gitlab-runner status answered me "Service is running" (but this is just a temporary solution, I really need to make it work on linux). Anyway, I have added a CI script to a test program and launch the job but it was turning in loop over and over. When I launch the command "gitlab-runner --debug run":

passfile: true extension: cmd job=183 project=19 runner=679ccd01 Using Shell executor... job=183 project=19 runner=679ccd01 Waiting for signals... job=183 project=19 runner=679ccd01 WARNING: Job failed: exit status 128 job=183 project=19 runner=679ccd01 WARNING: Submitting job to coordinator... failed job=183 runner=679ccd01 status=500 Internal Server Error WARNING: Submitting job to coordinator... failed job=183 runner=679ccd01 status=500 Internal Server Error

Gitlab.com and run command

So I have decided to add my project on gitlab.com, to test it.

git@gitlab.com:sandbox_test/test_ci.git
Once again the job was turning in infinite loop until I launch on my Windows computer the command "gitlab-runner run".
Dialing: tcp gitlab.com:443 ...
Feeding runners to channel                          builds=0

Why is it necessary to launch the run command to make work my job on gitlab.com?
I expect when I run a new job it will figure out by itself without to launch manually the gitlab-runner on the CI computer...
Script .gitlab-ci.yml
Validate on CI Lint
stages:
    - build
    - test
    - deploy
build:
    stage: build
    script:
    - echo "building"
test:
    stage: test
    script:
        - echo "test"
I really need answers very fast, thanks for your help.

UPDATE 1
I have resoved a part of my problems :
Linux Gitlab-runner is not running
Launch the command "gitlab-runner run --working-directory /home/gitlab-runner --config /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml --service gitlab-runner --syslog --user gitlab-runner"
First Error : chdir /home/gitlab-runner: no such file or directory
Solution: sudo mkdir /home/gitlab-runner
Second Error : open /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml: permission denied
Solution : sudo chmod 755 /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml
