By the way, are Eldon's CI > runners still around? IIRC they were capable of running KVM ? My datacenter had a power outage recently, so I disable my runner, and haven't prioritized bringing it back up until now. I am glad to get this going again, I'll look at it this weekend. It is a dedicated machine (R610 or Cisco UCS C220, I don't quite recall) with I believe ~2X cores and 100+ GB memory. I hit a couple of minor hurdles when CI started utilizing kubernetes runners, so one question I had was whether I should install a lightweight kubernetes system and run the gitlab kubernetes CI operator or the normal gitlab runner service. There should also be plenty of space to build *bsd VM's. Do pre-existing upstream BSD images have an nocloud support so that we can build from a stable updated base? Sorry I'm not super familiar with the BSD ecosystems, but happy to try to fill in the gaps. Thanks, Eldon
