We are installing the full set of build deps on the host OS install, at time of provisioning the runner. We should instead be provisioning the hosts exclusively to have docker, and then use containers for the build + test environment, so we don't need to have sysadmin intervention on the runners when a merge request adds a build dep. If we want to new private runners to replace the shared runners transparently, then the use of docker is basically a must have. > - tweak to handle multiple runner instances (or more -j on the build) > - changes to .gitlab-ci.d/ so we can use those machines while keeping > ability to run on shared runners for those outside the project With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
