⁠gitlab-ci-matlab

Container supporting a mounted in matlab for use in Gitlab CI

⁠Usage

To use this container in Gitlab you need to mount your local MATLAB installation into the container. This can be achieved by adding

"/path/to/MATLAB/:/usr/local/MATLAB/from-host"

to the volumes part under [runners.docker] in your /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml.

⁠MATLAB license

Depending on your license you may also need to spoof your container's MAC address to match your license. Assuming the address corresponding to your license is stored inside a variable named HW_ADDRESS, you can run

ip link set dev eth0 address $HW_ADDRESS

to set it inside the container. Make sure that your container is running in privileged mode.

⁠Acknowledgement

This is based on Benjamin Heasly's⁠ work. I just needed to modify the Dockerfile to make it usable in Gitlab CI.
