I stuck with an issue and hope someone could help me with this. Many thansk in advance

I have two docker-based gitlab-runners. Both of them works fine except of codeception task. The codeception task works fine on old server (Centos7) fine, but fails on new one (Alma9). The task fails silently on Selenium grid session aquire step . Gitlab-ci waits 60s and brakes the pipeline.

The main difference between runners is underlying OS. We are in the middle of migration from Centos7 to Alma9. Gitlab-runner configs are similar

Old server: 
 OS: Centos7 
 Docker Version: 26.1.4 
 Gitlab-runner: 17.2.1

New server:
 OS: Alma9
 Docker Version: 27.1.2
 Gitlab-runner: 17.3.1

Does anyone face a similar issue? Could you give me some hints on how to debug the problem?

I’ve checked the chrome webdriver inside the container. The ps command shows the chrome processes are running inside the container. I’ve tried to get status before run the codeception. Status looks fine
