privilegedMode

Enables running the Docker daemon inside a Docker container. Set to true only if the build project is used to build Docker images. Otherwise, a build that attempts to interact with the Docker daemon fails. The default setting is false.

You can initialize the Docker daemon during the install phase of your build by adding one of the following sets of commands to the install phase of your buildspec file:

If the operating system's base image is Ubuntu Linux:

- nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 --storage-driver=overlay&

- timeout 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1; done"

If the operating system's base image is Alpine Linux and the previous command does not work, add the -t argument to timeout:

- nohup /usr/local/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 --storage-driver=overlay&

- timeout -t 15 sh -c "until docker info; do echo .; sleep 1; done"
