I'm trying to get the docker in docker build to work. But every time I end up with Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?. I did also try the gitlab/dind:latest.

Do I miss anything? Thanks in advance.

config.toml

oncurrent = 1
check_interval = 0

[[runners]]
  name = "##########"
  url = "##########"
  token = "##########"
  executor = "docker"
  [runners.docker]
    tls_verify = false
    image = "docker:latest"
    privileged = true
    disable_cache = false
    volumes = ["/cache"]
  [runners.cache]

.gitlab-ci.yml

image: docker:latest
# When using dind, it's wise to use the overlayfs driver for
# improved performance.
variables:
  DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay

before_script:

build:
  script: 
   - docker build -t bla/bla .
   - docker login -u $DOCKER_USER -p $DOCKER_PASSWORD
   - docker push
