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

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: Connect your Stackhero GitLab Runner to GitLab.com or a self-managed GitLab and run your first pipeline.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero gives you an easy-to-use GitLab Runner cloud solution designed to handle your GitLab CI/CD jobs efficiently. Here is what you can look forward to:

• Unlimited CI/CD minutes: there is no per-minute billing, so your pipelines can run whenever you need them.
• Multiple concurrent jobs: run several jobs at the same time to speed up your entire pipeline.
• The Docker executor with Docker-in-Docker support: streamline 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: you can 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 choose the plan that matches your needs. The plan determines your available CPU, RAM, and the number of concurrent jobs (which corresponds to the GitLab Runner concurrent setting, the number of jobs that can run simultaneously).

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