Provide support for gitlab runner on windows platform

[umaritimus]

There are several possible use cases that require running gitlab-runner on windows platform, such as for executing utilities and proprietary software available only on windows, or administering windows systems themselves using ci triggers.

Would it be possible to provide support for gitlab-runner on windows platform?

Absolutely!

That would be nice. Just gotta put the work in...

I used to have a Puppet class that did all the work, but it was a WIP that I never finished. I need to revisit it now that I need a windows runner as well.

If I have something helpful later this month, then I'll be sure to share it.

By any chance is there someone who already worked on that topic ?
I would be interested to have windows support :-)
I'm willing to have a look but if anyone did it already...
