Docker not found on gitlab-ci shell on Windows 10

I'm developing an API on Windows 10 using Docker. I've hosted my code on a gitlab free plan, and I'm trying to setup a gitlab-ci pipeline.

I've installed both powershell and the gitlab-runner on my machine, and I have a runner set up to be ran on my local machine (config.toml):

concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0
connection_max_age = "15m0s"
shutdown_timeout = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "my-runner"
  url = "https://gitlab.com"
  id = [redacted]
  token = "[redacted]"
  token_obtained_at = 2024-09-27T11:22:39Z
  token_expires_at = 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z
  executor = "shell"
  shell = "pwsh"
  [runners.custom_build_dir]
  [runners.cache]
    MaxUploadedArchiveSize = 0
    [runners.cache.s3]
    [runners.cache.gcs]
    [runners.cache.azure]

I understood that the runner will be triggered by gitlab, and run the gitlab-ci steps on my local machine.

I've tried running the example config and it works.

But when I create my own config (which validates with the validation tool), I've got an error.

Here's part of my config (.gitlab-ci.yml) :

php-cs-fixer:
  stage: build
  script:
    - docker compose run --file C:\path\to\docker-compose.yml --rm php tools/php-cs-fixer/vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer check

That's a command I can run on my machine in any directory and it will succeed. But on the pipeline, I've got this error:

It seems like the docker command triggers the installation of a docker image on the runner ?

Have I misconfigured something? Or misunderstood anything?

How can I execute the docker command on my machine from the pipeline ?

GitLab CI runner exist with different types of executors.

From your logs Preparing the "docker+machine" executor it seems your runner is configured as a "docker machine" executor. Which spawns a specific isolated environment and not a shell directly on your laptop.

If we look even more at the logs, I'm pretty sure your runner on your laptop is not used at all. Running (...) on [redacted].gitlab.com/default. You should see your runner host/name here, not one from gitlab.com.

You should check in GitLab UI which runners are available to your project. You may use tags to restrict your jobs to run on a specific runner if needed.
