I was trying to look into Gitlab Runner the other day. How decoupled is it from Gitlab itself? Would I be able to somewhat easily write a completely different UI, with a different framework/language (say, Django), hook it all up to Github/Gogs and use Gitlab runner for the jobs themselves?
Because if that's what it is, that is pretty kickass.
- jobvandervoort 10y agoAFAIK you would not be able to do that. I've asked the author of Runner to comment here.
- sytse 10y agoThe Runner interfaces with GitLab through a pretty simple API, so you could do that. One caveat is that we might introduce a new API by releasing a new version of GitLab and GitLab Runner at the same time, then you would need to upgrade you project to stay compatible. BTW To ensure nobody is confused, you can use GitLab Runner to test all kinds of projects on all kinds of hardware. We're discussing developing an alternative to GitLab but reusing GitLab Runner.
