this image is configured with
`/usr/bin/super-sql run`

means, that when starting the container without additional options, it will run
the database's process, while Runner expects that the image will have no
entrypoint or at least will start with a shell as its entrypoint.

Before showing available entrypoint overwrite methods, let's describe shortly
how Runner start's and uses Docker image for job container:
1.
Runner start's Docker container using defined entrypoint (default from
`Dockerfile`
that may be overridden with
`.gitlab-ci.yml`
) and
[
shell discovering

)
.
1.
Runner attaches itself to a running container.
1.
Runner prepares a script (it may be the combination of
`before_script`
and
`script`
or the
`after_script`
).
1.
Runner sends the script to container shell's STDIN and receives the output.
After analyzing how works the code linked in first point, we can assume that Runner
will work if entrypoint will be either:
-
empty,
-
set to
`sh -c`
,
`bash -c`
or an equivalent with shell available in the image.
We recommend to make the entrypoint empty, so it doesn't start an useless shell
layer. However if Docker older than 17.04 is used, the empty entrypoint may not
work and for Docker older than 1.13 it will certainly not work. In that case
the
`/bin/sh -c`
or equal entrypoint should be used.

Before the new extended Docker configuration options, you would need to create
your own image based on the

image, set the entrypoint
