• Runner

Local execution

• Use Docker image (workaround found on gitlab-runner issue#4275)

# creates local folder
mkdir -p .gitlab/runner/local

# displays help on a command
docker run --rm --name gitlab-runner -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD/.gitlab/runner/local/config:/etc/gitlab-runner -v $PWD:$PWD --workdir $PWD gitlab/gitlab-runner exec help

# executes shell on "build" job
docker run --rm --name gitlab-runner -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD/.gitlab/runner/local/config:/etc/gitlab-runner -v $PWD:$PWD --workdir $PWD gitlab/gitlab-runner exec shell build

# executes docker on "build" job (use image defined in the gitlab-ci file)
docker run --rm --name gitlab-runner -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD/.gitlab/runner/local/config:/etc/gitlab-runner -v $PWD:$PWD --workdir $PWD gitlab/gitlab-runner exec shell build

• Includes are not supported unfortunately

  • Issue(s): Local runner execution MVC

  • Alternative(s): firecow/gitlab-ci-local
