did you move .m2 inside your build directory? because whenever i tried to cache .m2 i used to get "not supported outside build directory". if so, how did you manipulate the maven docker image to move .m2 directory inside your $CI_PROJECT_DIR?

[logicstv]

Can you cover adding S3 bucket for caching

[jeremiahlee]

Have you tried utilizing the runner to setup a docker network with a couple containers on it? I'm getting some hostname resolution issues.

[maryamtamlalti]

Thank you!! please i have a qst i am using minikube and i want to install the gitlab runner over the cluster, do i have to do the installation from the controller node ?

[ayodelegilbert]

Thank you so much for this. I am having issue using custom certificate when registering the gitlab runner in a GCP Kubernetes cluster. I am getting the error message x509; certificate signed by unknown authority. I have set the certsSecretName in the value.yaml file and still getting the error. Any idea on what to do

[sean_reyes]

is the rapberry pi 4 powerful enough to be a good Gitlab runner? say I have 5 projects that uses the same pipeline with 6 jobs... and this 5 projects may have 10-20 pipeline triggers everyday...

[jinkahari]

I am able to install runner, pod is creating. But when I tried to run pipeline with runner it's not working.

[kyleposluns]

If you want to add runners to the instance of gitlab-runner, are you supposed to edit the ConfigMap?

[ryangutwein]

Any update with the readiness probe error for the kubelet? Is it a token issue? When i initially deployed my runner into my eks cluster it was showing up in my projects, but now since this readiness probe error started showing up the executor is not showing up in my projects. I have tried helm uninstall and then re-installing with no luck
