[PATCH v3 3/4] Jobs based on custom runners: docs and gitlab-runner setu


From: Cleber Rosa
Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] Jobs based on custom runners: docs and gitlab-runner setup playbook
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2020 01:21:39 -0400

To have the jobs dispatched to custom runners, gitlab-runner must
be installed, active as a service and properly configured.  The
variables file and playbook introduced here should help with those
steps.

The playbook introduced here covers a number of different Linux
distributions and FreeBSD, and are intended to provide a reproducible
environment.

+
+gitlab-runner setup and registration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The gitlab-runner agent needs to be installed on each machine that
+will run jobs.  The association between a machine and a GitLab project
+happens with a registration token.  To find the registration token for
+your repository/project, navigate on GitLab's web UI to:
+
+ * Settings (the gears like icon), then
+ * CI/CD, then
+ * Runners, and click on the "Expand" button, then
+ * Under "Set up a specific Runner manually", look for the value under
+   "Use the following registration token during setup"
+
+Copy the ``scripts/ci/setup/vars.yml.template`` file to
+``scripts/ci/setup/vars.yml``.  Then, set the
+``gitlab_runner_registration_token`` variable to the value obtained
+earlier.
+
+.. note:: gitlab-runner is not available from the standard location
+          for all OS and architectures combinations.  For some systems,
+          a custom build may be necessary.  Some builds are avaiable
+          at https://cleber.fedorapeople.org/gitlab-runner/ and this
+          URI may be used as a value on ``vars.yml``
+
+To run the playbook, execute::
+
+  cd scripts/ci/setup
+  ansible-playbook -i inventory gitlab-runner.yml
+
+.. note:: there are currently limitations to gitlab-runner itself when
+          setting up a service under FreeBSD systems.  You will need to
+          perform steps 4 to 10 manually, as described at
+          https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/freebsd.html
+
+Following the registration, it's necessary to configure the runner tags,
+and optionally other configurations on the GitLab UI.  Navigate to:
+
+ * Settings (the gears like icon), then
+ * CI/CD, then
+ * Runners, and click on the "Expand" button, then
+ * "Runners activated for this project", then
+ * Click on the "Edit" icon (next to the "Lock" Icon)
+
+Under tags, add values matching the jobs a runner should run.  For a
+FreeBSD 12.1 x86_64 system, the tags should be set as::
+
+  freebsd12.1,x86_64
+
+Because the job definition at ``.gitlab-ci.d/custom-runners.yml``
+would contain::
+
+  freebsd-12.1-x86_64-all:
+   tags:
+   - freebsd_12.1
+   - x86_64
+
+It's also recommended to:
+
+ * increase the "Maximum job timeout" to something like ``2h``
+ * uncheck the "Run untagged jobs" check box
+ * give it a better Description
