gitlab-runner-frontend

This is a custom build of the original gitlab-runner Docker image from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner. I've simply added some fronted tools i need to deploy my stuff.

Toolchain:

• NodeJS
• NPM
• Gulp
• Bower
• Ruby
• SASS
• lftp

.gitlab-ci.yml example

publish:
  stage: build
  script:
    - npm install
    - bower install
    - gulp
    - cd build
    - lftp -u $FTP_USER,$FTP_PASS -e 'mirror --only-newer --reverse --verbose ./ ./' $FTP_HOST
  only:
    - master
  tags:
    - sass
    - bower
    - npm
    - gulp
    - lftp

In Gitlab-CI project settings, i'm creating secret project variables for FTP_USER, FTP_PASS and FTP_HOST.

If you are defining tags like i did in my example, you need to set those tags on your runner via Gitlab-CI settings too. If not, your build status will stay pending!

Add submodule support and fix lftp certificate validation error

You need to perform the following actions as gitlab-runner user (sudo su gitlab-runner)

• create ssh keys for submodules which are linked via ssh urls
• set .ssh folder permission to 700
• set id_rsa.pub file permission to 644
• set id_rsa permission to 600
• add the ssh key to your user account which has the permission to at least read your submodules
• create ~/.lftprc file with set ssl:verify-certificate false if certificate validation fails
