GitLab pipeline and building docker images
For GitLab.com shared runners -- this would be a minimal CI file, assuming you have a Dockerfile in the root of your repository: build: image: docker services: docker:dind script: - docker build -t test . More on reddit.com

Security Concerns for rootless-dind in Gitlab CI and possible alternatives?
I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure, running CI jobs for someone else is allowing them to execute code on your machine. So you need to have the machine in a special network and firewalled, so it can't communicate with any IP / port you don't want it to. Doing this in a cloud environment should be pretty simple. Doing this on prem can probably be much more challenging. Why would you need Docker in Docker? Just to build images? Then I would suggest to use another alternative, e.g. https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko But there should be enough other possibilities. If you haven't done so, I would go through the exercise of having a docker group and a user being part of that docker group so the user is able to spin up containers. Then try to hack it and become root on the machine. It's pretty easy to do, but I think it can be a fun group exercise, especially for more junior team members. More on reddit.com
