Installing GitLab Runner

wget https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/gitlab-runner/yum/el7-aarch64/gitlab-runner-16.9.0-1.aarch64.rpm

Alternatively, you can download the GitLab Runner installation package that matches your environment from https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ or https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/index.html. The following uses gitlab-runner-16.9.0-1.aarch64.rpm as an example to describe how to manually download the installation package and upload it to the server.

yum install -y git tar  
rpm -ivh gitlab-runner-16.9.0-1.aarch64.rpm

gitlab-runner uninstall 
mkdir /home/Kunpeng_staff 
gitlab-runner install --working-directory /home/Kunpeng_staff --user root   

If you want to specify another user, run the following commands:

useradd USER  
gitlab-runner install --working-directory /home/Kunpeng_staff --user USER

Parameters in the gitlab-runner install command:

• --working-directory specifies the gitlab-runner service installation directory.
• --user specifies the user who runs the service.

In the example, /home/Kunpeng_staff is the gitlab-runner service installation directory and USER is the user name. Replace them with the actual directory and user name.

Reload the configuration.

systemctl daemon-reload

Start the service.

systemctl start gitlab-runner

Set automatic startup.

systemctl enable gitlab-runner

Restart the service.

systemctl restart gitlab-runner

systemctl status gitlab-runner

If the startup is successful, the information shown in Figure 1 is displayed.

Figure 1 Starting gitlab-runner

chown -R root:root /home/Kunpeng_staff 

If you want to specify another user, run the following command:

chown -R USER:USER /home/Kunpeng_staff

1. Log in to GitLab, click Runners in the navigation tree on the left, and click Create a new runner on the right panel.

• The following is an example of invoking the BiSheng Compiler:

  stages:           
    - build
  
    clang_job:
     stage: build
     tags:
       - kunpeng_scanner # This is the tag used during gitlab-runner registration. Multiple tags may be selected.
     script:
       - /root/BiShengCompiler-3.2.0-aarch64-linux/bin/clang /opt/test.c -o Output_path # The BiSheng Compiler has been installed on the host. Enter the actual path.

  In the pipeline script, when a step requires invoking the BiSheng Compiler for compilation, the file /opt/test.c is used as an example target.

• The following is an example of invoking GCC for openEuler:

  stages:
    - build
  
    gcc_job:
     stage: build
     tags:
       - kunpeng_scanner # This is the tag used during gitlab-runner registration. Multiple tags may be selected.
     script:     - /root/gcc-10.3.1-2023.12-aarch64-linux/bin/gcc /opt/test.c -o Output_path # GCC for openEuler has been installed on the host. Enter the actual path.

  In the pipeline script, when a step requires invoking GCC for openEuler for compilation, the file /opt/test.c is used as an example target.
