Hi all, I'm at the end of the road with trying to get a pulumi project to deploy my stack. The issue stems from having a base image that has both dotnet and also docker installed. My pulumi project has
Copy code
var image = new Image("my-image", new ImageArgs
        {
            ImageName = Output.Format($"{registry.LoginServer}/{CustomImage}:v1.0.0"),
            Build = new DockerBuild
            {
                Context = relativePath
            },
            Registry = registryInfo,
        });
Running this locally on my machine works fine, since I have dotnet (which builds my pulumi csproj) and also have docker (which is required to build this image. Running this in circle-ci, I'm not able to find an image that satisfies both conditions. Ideally I'd like to have my whole stack defined in pulumi, but looks more like I need to build the container outside of pulumi thru some other circle-ci orb. Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated
The example given here does not take into account running in a CI/CD environment - https://www.pulumi.com/blog/build-publish-containers-iac/

I think you need to create a custom docker image with both dotnet and docker in it and then tell circle to use this image for building: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/custom-images/
Looks like you can just use the pulumi/pulumi for this.

@straight-intern-77892 Thanks for replying - will give it a go
By running
Copy code
docker run -it --rm --name test --entrypoint /bin/bash  pulumi/pulumi
I can see both 
dotnet
and 
docker
are available
Unfortunately it failed with
Copy code
+  docker:image:Image my-image creating Starting docker build and push...
 +  docker:image:Image my-image creating Logging in to registry...

and a bit more context further down
Copy code
docker:image:Image (my-image):
    error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
    error: Pulumi.ResourceException: No 'docker' command available on PATH: Please install to use container 'build' mode.
       at async Task<bool> Pulumi.Docker.Docker.UseDockerPasswordStdin(Resource logResource)+detectPasswordStdin(?)
       at async Task Pulumi.Docker.Docker.LoginToRegistry(ImageRegistryUnwrap registry, Resource logResource)+(?) => { }
This is using the 
pulumi/pulumi
image
Docker is clearly available as 
Version":"20.10.12
but no running?

@quick-fall-21011 this appears to be related to circle-ci's docker support. You're building a docker image inside docker You need to look up how to run docker in docker in circleci. This is a generic article which explains that a bit more: https://devopscube.com/run-docker-in-docker/

a quick google tells me circle ci has a setup remote docker mechanism which may help, but I'm not familiar with circleci

Looks like you do not have access to the docker socket within your build container.. you'll have to figure out how to provide access or try an alternative approach (not building your image in pulumi)
q
Thanks for the advice both... will dig a bit more
Bingo! I had to follow this article https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/building-docker-images/
Specifically
Copy code
- setup_remote_docker:
          version: 19.03.13
