@granite ridge Pinging ya hear from the issue over in Github. Here is what I get when I echo the path.

Huh okay 🤔

#

So if you just do export PATH=$PATH:/root/.local/bin before the dagger command it'll work I think

#

But that does mean that our docs for this look wrong

I am running this on a self hosted running in K8s. So... I don't know how that affects the paths.

#

I'll try to prefix that for now.

#

I think this is why the official CLI image would be killer. Would just mean all the setup between Gitlab / Github / whatever else are more or less the same. Obviously you know this, hah. Just trying to put a little pressure on getting an image. (;

Yeah ofc! We'll definitely be looking at doing that soon, but just to set expectations, we're pretty busy at kubecon this week! But once that finishes up, I don't think there are any major blockers

The prefix fixed it! I can operate with this for now. Getting the dagger CLI to talk to me dagger engine properly I'm sure will be a bit of task on these self hosted runners.

No worries about the timing. Good luck at KubeCon. Hope y'all get some good traction. Wish I was there.

hey, just to add to this, some context: I am running gitlab with runners as separate VM's not on k8s like the original poster @stable fractal. I ran into the 'dagger not found' issue as well as another where 'docker' wasn't found using the guide here: https://docs.dagger.io/integrations/734201/gitlab. I am not an expert with the gitlab cicd platform yet so after some trial and error I got it working with the following as a base template to start building on:

  image: docker:${DOCKER_VERSION}
  services:
    - docker:${DOCKER_VERSION}
  variables:
    DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2376
    DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY: '1'
    DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: '/certs'
    DOCKER_CERT_PATH: '/certs/client'
    DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2
    DOCKER_VERSION: 26.1.0
.dagger:
  extends: [.docker]
  before_script:
    - apk add curl
    - curl -L https://dl.dagger.io/dagger/install.sh | BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin sh
    - export PATH=$PATH:/root/.local/bin
build:
  extends: [.dagger]
  script:
    # use daggerverse function from the quickstart guide
    - dagger -m github.com/shykes/daggerverse/hello@v0.1.2 call hello
    # for ephemeral runners only: override the default docker stop timeout and
    # give the Dagger Engine more time to push cache data to Dagger Cloud
    - docker stop -t 300 $(docker ps --filter name="dagger-engine-*" -q)

note that the image in the .docker section is set to docker:26.1.0 and not alpine.
and the export PATH=$PATH:/root/.local/bin is set in the .dagger section as recommended by @granite ridge .
