#### GitLab CI/CD runner with built in LXD executor

This snap is a GitLab runner configured to launch workloads in LXD containers.

This snap relies on an external LXD installation. To set that up, first run
`snap install lxd`. Then, run `lxd init` and configure the settings the way
you want! Finally, run `lxd-gitlab-runner.print-lxd-preseed | lxd init --preseed`.

After configuring the external LXD installation, run `sudo lxd-gitlab-runner.configure-lxc`

To register the GitLab runner, run `sudo lxd-gitlab-runner.register` and then
complete the interactive registeration. Make sure you use the default value for
the executor ("custom").

Known configuration values (advanced use only):
port - the localhost port for LXD to listen for tcp connections on (default: 8443)

## Enable snaps on Fedora and install lxd-gitlab-runner

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:

```
sudo dnf install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

### Install lxd-gitlab-runner
