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.

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

concurrent = <number of cores>                                                                  
check_interval = 1                                                          

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "<organisation>-<name>-docker-<arch>"
  url = "https://foss.heptapod.net/"
  token = "<token>"
  executor = "docker"
  [runners.custom_build_dir]
  [runners.cache]
    [runners.cache.s3]
    [runners.cache.gcs]
    [runners.cache.azure]
  [runners.docker]
    tls_verify = false        
    image = "python"          
    privileged = false          
    disable_entrypoint_overwrite = false
    oom_kill_disable = false
    disable_cache = false
    volumes = ["/cache"]
    shm_size = 0
  [runners.docker.tmpfs]
    "/tmp" = "rw,exec"
  [runners.docker.services_tmpfs]
    "/var/lib/postgresql/data" = "rw"

with:

  • <number of cores>: the number of cores shared
  • <organisation>: the name of the organisation giving the resource (ex: tryton)
  • <name>: the name of host (ex: tycho)
  • <arch>: the type of CPU architecture (ex: amd64)
  • <token>: the token provided by the administrator
