在 GitLab CI 中使用 QEMU 而不是 Docker 镜像

Question

GitLab CI is highly integrated with Docker.

But sometimes, if the project depends on the interaction with Linux kernel like LUKS. It cannot works properly.

The project cryptsetup use Travis-CI instead of GitLab CI even if it host on gitlab.com. I don't know if it is just personal preference of project maintainer.

Hence is it possible to run QEMU or Firecracker instead of Docker?

Is there any equivalent alternative in GitLab than Travis-CI?

Answer 1

This is not yet supported.

A recent (mid-2019) gitlab-org/gitlab-runner issue 4338 mentions katacontainers with firecracker vms as one possible alternative to Docker Machine, for autoscaling.

But this is still being studied.
