Adding a new gitlab-runner configuration

Problem

A new gitlab-runner needs to be attached to a project.

Steps

1. Make sure deployment-all is up to date with git pull.

2. Verify that the checkout works correctly including access to AWS and Beaker:

   aws_saml_login.sh --role poweruser  # or simply ./local_login.sh
   gitlab-runner-config/deploy.sh configurations diff
   

3. Add the new gitlab-runner to

   • Beaker machine: ansible/inventory/beaker.yml, all.hosts.children.gitlab_runner.hosts
   • Other machine: gitlab-runner-config/deploy.sh, RUNNER_HOSTS
   • Kubernetes: gitlab-runner-config/deploy.sh, CONTEXTS

   Also add it to gitlab-runner-config/runners.yml.j2 in runner_deployments.

   Depending on the type, setup and execute the necessary playbooks the configure the machine.

4. If a new configuration template is needed, add it to gitlab-runner-config/runners.yml.j2 in runner_templates.

5. Instantiate the template in the correct runner deployment via the runner_configurations variable. If a new configuration is created, make sure it is attached to the correct GitLab projects via runner_registrations.

6. Run gitlab-runner-config/deploy.sh registrations diff and check that the new runner configurations are reported and do not have a token assigned.

7. Register the new runners and add the new tokens to the secrets via

   gitlab-runner-config/deploy.sh \
     registrations apply --create-missing
   

8. Deploy the new configurations via gitlab-runner-config/deploy.sh configurations apply.
