GitLab Runner: Step 1: Create your GitLab Runner on Stackhero

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. You can view the complete guide here: Connect your Stackhero GitLab Runner to GitLab.com or a self-hosted GitLab and run your first pipeline.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers you an easy-to-use GitLab Runner cloud solution, designed to efficiently run your GitLab CI/CD jobs. Here’s what you can expect:

• Unlimited CI/CD minutes: there’s no per-minute billing, so your pipelines can run whenever you need them.
• Concurrent jobs: run multiple jobs in parallel to speed up your entire pipeline.
• The Docker executor with Docker-in-Docker support: simplify building and pushing your container images.
• Compatible with GitLab.com as well as any self-managed GitLab instance.
• A private, dedicated VM powered by fast NVMe/SSD disks for consistent, reliable builds.
• Available in both 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA regions.

Save time: connect your first GitLab Runner and start running pipelines in just a few minutes!

From your Stackhero dashboard, you can create a new GitLab Runner service and select the plan that best fits your needs. The plan determines your available CPU, RAM, and the number of concurrent jobs (which corresponds to the GitLab Runner concurrent setting, i.e., the number of jobs that can run in parallel).

Your runner will be up and running in about 2 minutes.
