Docker in docker problem

[iris-garcia]

Hi,

I am facing an issue when I try to cross compile using this package in a docker in docker setup. Basically there is a jenkins container (which has access to the docker.sock) and can spawn new containers, but when I try to cross compile it fails:

Checking docker installation...

Is there a way to run xgo from a docker container?

Thanks.

Hi，@iris-garcia，could this problem be resolved？ I encountered the same problem.

Hi @shiqinfeng1, yes the way I solved it was using the following docker image in the jenkins agent:

docker {
		    image 'techknowlogick/xgo:latest'
		    args '-u root:root --entrypoint=\'\''
		}

Then inside this container xgo runs fine (without the need of spawning another container).
