Register a shared runner
Introduced in GitLab 15.10. Deployed behind the create_runner_workflow_for_admin flag, disabled by default.
On self-managed GitLab, this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to enable the feature flag named
create_runner_workflow_for_admin.
On GitLab.com, this feature is available but can be configured by GitLab.com administrators only.Prerequisites:
- You must be an administrator to register a shared runner.
To register a shared runner:
- On the top bar, select Main menu > Admin.
- On the left sidebar, select CI/CD > Runners.
- Select New instance runner.
- Select a platform.
- Optional. Enter a description.
- Optional. Enter a maintenance note.
- Optional. Enter configurations for the runner.
- Select Submit.
- Follow the instructions to register the runner from the command line.
The token only displays in the UI for a short period of time during registration,
and is then saved in
config.toml.
