ansible-gitlab-runner's Issues

Using "gitlab-runner" as an ansible hostname causes registration to be skipped

As far as I can tell, if I happen to name my gitlab runner host "gitlab-runner", this line in combination with this default causes runner registration to be skipped, since the output of gitlab-runner list contains the string gitlab-runner even when the list is empty.

Presumably this will also occur if I use some substring of that, or (for whatever reason) the word config, or anything else contained in the output of gitlab-runner list for an empty list.

The fix is simple (provide a unique, configured name for the runner) so I am just making this issue in case you can find a less fragile condition to check for this task, or in case anyone comes across this issue in the future.

Install fails on ubuntu

fixed with tasks replaced with: (from the gitlab_runner docs)

name: Install Gitlab repository
shell: curl -L https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
name: Install GitLab Runner
apt:
name: gitlab-ci-multi-runner
state: latest

[meta] state of this repo, summary of forks

I have found this code useful, but the author does not appear to be looking at it anymore so users have been making fixes in forks. In case it saves other people time, here is what I have learned about various available forks of this project:

https://github.com/riemers/ansible-gitlab-runner - fork of https://github.com/haroldb/ansible-gitlab-runner.
- Contains some fixes including #5 and half of #4.
https://github.com/DBLaci/ansible-gitlab-runner - fork of https://github.com/riemers/ansible-gitlab-runner (fork of a fork).
- Contains fixes including the fixes in @riemers's fork and the second half of #4.
https://github.com/mrtyler/ansible-gitlab-runner - fork of https://github.com/DBLaci/ansible-gitlab-runner (fork of a fork of a fork!).
- Contains the fixes in @DBLaci's fork plus some non-functional cleanups (warnings, ansible-lint errors). These fixes are PR'd back to DBLaci: DBLaci/ansible-gitlab-runner#2

I also looked at a few other ansible-gitlab-runner projects. Here's why I didn't choose them:

https://github.com/debops/ansible-gitlab_runner - seems tied to larger system; "You may need to include missing roles from the DebOps common playbook into your playbook."
https://github.com/andrewrothstein/ansible-gitlab-ci-multi-runner - doesn't handle runner registration

Debian install from other repository

Hi first of all thanks for publishing your role

The role works perfectly except for the installation part for debian. The problem is that the machine I'm trying to provision doesn't have internet access. So it's not able to access the repo added.

It however already has a repo that includes the gitlab-ci-multirunner package. So apt-get install gitlab-ci-multirunner would be sufficient to install it.

Do you see an easy way include my use case in your role? For example add the repo only if the package ist not found?

I would like to avoid doing a fork if possible.

Thanks for your help
Pascal
