vddvss/gitlab-runner-user repository overview

⁠GitLab Runner Usermode

This is a repo for podman⁠/buildah⁠ container images hosting gitlab-runner⁠. I created this since Fedora 31 uses cgroupsv2, the traditional docker daemon is no longer supported, and the rpm from the gitlab-runner repo had SELinux issues.

The configuration here allows for the use of nested buildah containers while running in usermode.

This only supports the shell executor until this issue⁠ is closed.

⁠Installation

⁠Building the image

podman pull vddvss/gitlab-runner-user:latest

Or

make build-image

⁠Installing systemd unit file

make install

⁠Registering the runner with GitLab

To register the runner with GitLab, run:

make register

This will place the config.toml file in ~/.config/gitlab-runner.

⁠Starting the service

To start the service, run:

systemctl --user start gitlab-runner-user.service

And to stop the service:

systemctl --user stop gitlab-runner-user.service
