I'm trying to run gitlab-runner on my kubernetes cluster on raspberry pi.
The gitlab pipeline generates the following output:
Running with gitlab-runner 10.4.0 (857480b6) on hello-world-gitlab-runner-6548-tq4mr (123)

Any idea to fix this?
I probably just had a similar problem, so far no solution, but it seems the gitlab-runner is trying to pull and run the wrong gitlab-runner-helper. this is another docker image pulled and in my case it got pulled in x86 flavor. It cannot run on RPI, which is arm. This might help a bit...
I managed to specify helper container version (my runner was configured with helm chart and values.yaml) - official image supports ARM
runners:
helpers:
image: gitlab/gitlab-runner-helper:arm-latest
