Description

I manually start docker containers for test because it is have some troubles use private repositories in services [https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/19275], [https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22305].

There is no timeout option in docker run command but as always several workarounds.

Unfortunately I can't even guarantied run after script after job timeout.

So my intention as workaround run such containers like:

(sleep 3500 ; sudo docker stop test_container_${CI_BUILD_REF})& docker run --rm -i  --name test_container_${CI_BUILD_REF} ... 

Problem there what I should hardcode amount of sleep seconds because does not known how it configured for current project. It will be very helpful see there variable like CI_BUILD_TIMEOUT in seconds.
