Setting up a runner: https://linux.psi.ch/documentation/services/gitea/gitea-runner/#custom-runner
Current setup: https://gitea.psi.ch/sls/hla_framework_bd/src/branch/main/docs/developer/cicd_runner.md

Use containers?

Example tasks that a runner needs to execute:

  • Clone repo
    • Read from a .yml file
  • Copy files to sls/bd/hla/...
  • Rsync files from repo to /sls/bd/hla/...
  • Run ioc install
  • Run:
   sudo shellbox status
   sudo shellbox reload
   sudo shellbox status
   sudo shellbox start ...
  • Start/restart systemd services:
  export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
  systemctl --user daemon-reload
  systemctl --user enable "{{ service_unit_name }}"
  systemctl --user restart "{{ service_unit_name }}"

Clearly document the procedure for setting up the runner on each host.It is a controls task to automate this.

Some two cents:

  • without Ansible less critical
  • container could be a work around -> talk to Basil
  • shellbox and ioc install only obvious real dependency
    • for these the responsibility lies even more clearly with controls
    • for these proper forwarding network/mount config into container might be difficult
