Install an Heptapod runner

Organisation

Here is a copy of the instructions to install a runner for Heptapod (as they are only available to the administrators):

Download and install binary

# Download the binary for your system
sudo curl -L --output /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner https://download.heptapod.net/runner/latest/binaries/heptapod-runner-linux-amd64

# Give it permission to execute
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner

# Create a GitLab Runner user
sudo useradd --comment 'GitLab Runner' --create-home gitlab-runner --shell /bin/bash

# Install and run as a service
sudo gitlab-runner install --user=gitlab-runner --working-directory=/home/gitlab-runner
sudo gitlab-runner start

Command to register runner
sudo gitlab-runner register --url https://foss.heptapod.net/ --registration-token <token>

Request the token by contacting the administrators.

It is also possible to use the docker image instead of the binary with:

docker run -d --name heptapod-runner --restart always -v /srv/heptapod-runner/config:/etc/heptapod-runner -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock heptapod/heptapod-runner:latest

Here is the template of the configuration file for Tryton runners:

concurrent = <number of cores>                                                                  
check_interval = 1                                                          

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

  name = "<organisation>-<name>-docker-<arch>"
  url = "https://foss.heptapod.net/"
  token = "<token>"
  executor = "docker"
