Install GitLab CI on FreeBSD Latest

To install GitLab CI on FreeBSD Latest, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your FreeBSD Latest server as root or as a user with sudo privileges.

2. Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

   sudo pkg install -y gitlab-runner
   

3. Start the GitLab CI service by running the following command:

   sudo gitlab-runner start
   

4. Register the GitLab CI runner by running the following command:

   sudo gitlab-runner register
   

   This command will prompt you for several pieces of information, including:

   • The URL of your GitLab instance
   • An access token with permissions to register new runners (you can generate this token in your GitLab account settings)
   • The executor to use (e.g. shell, docker, etc.)
   • Any additional configuration options you may need

   Once you have provided all the required information, the runner will be registered and connected to your GitLab instance.

5. Modify the GitLab CI configuration file by running the following command:

   sudo vi /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml
   

   In this file, you can configure a variety of options for your runner, including how it executes jobs, where it stores artifacts, and more.

6. Restart the GitLab CI service by running the following command:

   sudo gitlab-runner restart
   

   This will ensure that any changes you made to the configuration file are applied.

That's it! You should now have GitLab CI up and running on your FreeBSD Latest server. You can create and manage pipelines directly from your GitLab instance. For more information on how to use GitLab CI, visit the official GitLab CI documentation at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
