Gitlab CI Runner

Description

Install and configure runners for gitlab-ci. Use
gitlab-ci-multi-runner as runner type. Learn more on
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner.

Requirements

Cookbooks and gems

Declared in [metadata.rb](metadata.rb) and in [Gemfile](Gemfile).

Platforms

• RHEL Family 7, tested on Centos

Note: it should work fine on Debian 8 but the official docker image does not
allow systemd to work easily, so it could not be tested.

Usage

Easy Setup

Add recipe[gitlab-ci-runner] in your run-list to install
gitlab-ci-multi-runner using its repository.

To add runners, use default provider or use
recipe[gitlab-ci-runner::register] and runners attribute. To see a use
case, look at [.kitchen.yml](.kitchen.yml).

Test

This cookbook is fully tested through the installation of the full gitlab
platform in docker hosts. This uses kitchen, docker and some monkey-patching.

If you run kitchen list, you will see 2 suites, Each corresponds to a different
server:

• gitlab-ubuntu-1404: complete instance of gitlab (official docker image)
• runner-centos-7: installation of gitlab-ci-multi-runner and configuration of runners

For more information, see [.kitchen.yml](.kitchen.yml) and [test](test)
directory.

Attributes

Configuration is done by overriding default attributes. All configuration keys
have a default defined in [attributes/default.rb](attributes/default.rb).
Please read it to have a comprehensive view of what and how you can configure
this cookbook behavior.

Recipes

default

Install gitlab-ci-multi-runner by using its repository, enable and start
the service.

repository

Install runner repository.

package

Install gitlab-ci-multi-runner package.

service

Enable and start runner service.

register

Register or Unregister runners based on attribute
['gitlab-ci-runner']['runners']. This is an Array of Hash where each Hash
represent an action on a runner, "register" or "unregister". In a Hash,
description key is the name attribute and represents the name of the runner.
Then each runner option should be listed in a sub-Hash of key options, each
sub-key matching an option name of gitlab-runner cli.

See [.kitchen.yml](.kitchen.yml) for an example.

Resources/Providers

default

Register or Unregister runners. For instance, to register a default runner
to http://gitlab-ci.myinstance:

gitlab_ci_runner 'my runner' do
  options {
    registration_token: '1234567890',
    url: 'http://gitlab-ci.myinstance'
  }
end

The options list with full documentation is available in
[resources/default.rb](resources/default.rb).
