How much routine network traffic will the runner generate?  Obviously, it will 
need to pull the Docker image when it is updated, and that will happen 
occasionally, but I'm more curious about the building & testing itself.  Will 
there be large logs or build artifacts sent back to GitLab or otherwise served 
to people browsing the project?

I might be willing to plug in a cheap, headless computer to crank through 
patches night and day, but probably not if it will upload GBs of results.
