Fix in docker_inspect_self_mountinfo() fo Gitlab runner

[zweikaesehoch]

Crossbuilding in our buildimage on a Gitlab runner failed:

Container ID could not be resolved from /proc/self/mountinfo, because "/docker/" string was expected, but "/docker-data/" provided:

I extended string matching with "/docker-data/" and our pipeline is working again.

Thanks!

We further investigated the error which led us to our custom data-root setting in /etc/docker/daemon.json:

The fallback implemented due to #1321 misses the container id because of our changed data-root to "docker-data" instead of default "docker".

The real issue here is, that docker_inspect_self_mountinfo() wont work, if data-root setting contains no "/docker/".

The current PR bears no value for other users now.
One would need to parse daemon.json data-root setting to make the fallback more robust.

Pseudocode:

Look into /etc/docker/daemon.json
if data-root is set
  extract last path element as DATA_ROOT
  if DATA_ROOT not equals "/docker"
    add DATA_ROOT to OR-filter strings in line 1367

This is currently blocking me and I have no authority over our agents. Is there something I can do as a workaround?

if you add -v do you get any debug messages about docker inspect found no containers matching HOSTNAME, retrying using mountinfo? if no, try setting the HOSTNAME envvar to the name of a container

I think I have a workaround, I'll create a new PR and then you and @zweikaesehoch could maybe try it

I have also run into this issue attempting to run cross on GitHub Codespaces. It seems local devcontainers use /var/lib/docker/containers/ while on the Codespaces it uses just /containers/. The following pattern match (similar to this PR) resolved the issue and seems to handle both uses cases:

.filter(|s| s.contains("/docker/") || s.contains("/containers/"))```

although there may be a better way.

Please give #1588 a try 👍🏼
