CreateContainerError: context deadline exceeded

  • 772

For a project, I must use big containers (500Mb to 60Gb).

I don't have a precise measurement but when I run containers larger than 3-5Gb with gitlab-runner, I get an error in rancher: CreateContainerError: context deadline exceeded

Our kubernetes cluster is build with rke with rancher as web ui and located in our datacenter.

The bug only appears with gitlab-runner, if I launch docker run ... on the kubernetes node, everything works fine.

Maybe there is a timeout somewhere?

Have any of you ever had this problem?

Thank you.

docker kubernetes gitlab helm rancher-2

    Ok, it seems that adding these lines in my rke config (cluster.yml) resolve this issue:

    services:
  kubelet:
    extra_args:
      runtime-request-timeout: '1h'
