GitLab Runner registration

To register GitLab Runner - Ubuntu server where the build will be executed - follow the guide.

Get the GitLab Runner registration token:

Settings -> CI/CD -> Runners -> Set up a specific Runner manually -> Copy the code: DxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxU

Use the [tools/build_remote_ssh_ubuntu.sh] script to automatically provision the Ubuntu server.

You can also use the command directly when using already pre-configured server:

gitlab-runner register \
  --non-interactive \
  --tag-list packer-templates \
  --registration-token "{{ GITLAB_REGISTRATION_TOKEN }}" \
  --url https://gitlab.com/ \
  --executor shell
