Docker
The Docker build runner allows launching the build, push, and tag Docker commands inside your build.
tip
For the
runcommand, use Docker Wrapper.
If a Dockerfile is present in your VCS repository and you create a TeamCity project based on this repository, TeamCity will autodetect it and offer creating a build step using this runner.
Common Settings
This runner is a part of the TeamCity-Docker integration toolset. Refer to this page for information on software requirements, supported environments, and other common aspects of this integration.
Available step execution policies are described here.

Running Docker via sudo
You can enforce starting Docker commands on a TeamCity agent via sudo. Add the teamcity.docker.use.sudo=true setting in the build agent configuration file or as an agent's system property. On the agent start, the TeamCity agent log will inform you that the sudo prefix is used to run Docker commands.
To configure the sudoers file for the sudo command, use visudo as follows:
buildagentuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SETENV:<full_path_to_docker>We recommend removing (or commenting out) the Defaults requiretty line from the sudoers file to prevent the problem with docker login.
