GitLab CI is designed for the Linux operating system.

GitLab CI officially supports (recent versions of) these Linux distributions:

  • Ubuntu Linux
  • Debian/GNU Linux

How it works

GitLab CI is a web application with API and connect to db. It manage projects/builds and provide a nice user interface. It uses GitLab application to authenticate users.

GitLab CI Runner is a pure ruby application which process builds. It can be deployed separately and work with GitLab CI through API.

In order to run tests you need at least 1 GitLab CI instance and 1 GitLab CI Runner. However, for running several builds at the same time you may want to setup more than one GitLab CI Runner.

Possible Cases:

  • 1 GitLab CI and N GitLab CI Runner instances on same machine
  • 1 GitLab CI and N GitLab CI Runner instances on different machines
  • 1 GitLab CI and N GitLab CI Runner instances on local machines
