Well. That was some hard time to get that running. These ways of building docker images with gitlab-runner(s) can be found online: just binding the docker executable into your build image and the socket using docker-in-docker (dind) using docker-in-docker with own entrypoint But no one mentioned just using a bare gitlab-runner on your server with […]

But creating the package again after upgrade of the whole system from the AUR solved that issue. There are still some warnings and exceptions here and there, but the […]
