Using GitLab with the Anka Build Cloud

Instructions on how to use the Anka Cloud Gitlab Executor with the Anka Build Cloud

VM Template & Tag Requirements

The below list are the absolute necessities needed to execute commands in a VM through your CI and the GitLab Runner. You may have to include other dependencies depending on your needs.

  1. In the VM:
    • Install git
    • Make sure remote login is enabled (System Preferences > Sharing).
  2. On the host, enable port forwarding of the VM’s 22 port using the Anka CLI. We recommend not specifying --host-port.
  3. Push the VM as a Template/Tag to the Anka Build Registry.
