Before you start

  • Ask your Peak contact to turn on GitLab for your workspace.
  • Sign in to Peak as an Admin.
  • Be an Owner of the GitLab group, or a Maintainer of the project.
  • Use gitlab.com. Self-managed GitLab isn’t supported.
  • Run x64 jobs on Peak. Keep arm64 jobs on your current runners.

Connect GitLab

  1. Open Settings → GitLab.
  2. Choose Connect GitLab.
  3. Authorize Peak on GitLab. Peak asks for read_api, create_runner and manage_runner.
  4. Select your groups or projects.
  5. Choose Save.
  6. Wait for Runner ready beside each one.

Run jobs on Peak

Set the tags of your jobs to peak.
Keep your images and services. Check these before you move a job.
  • Each job runs in a new x64 VM with 8 vCPU and 32 GiB.
  • Jobs stop after 6 hours.
  • Jobs without an image use ubuntu:24.04.
  • Peak runners also take jobs from protected branches.
  • Jobs reach the internet on every port except 25. Send mail on port 587 or 465.
Build Docker images with the docker:dind service and these four variables.
For buildx, create a context first. buildx refuses the TLS variables without one.

Fix problems

Remove GitLab

  1. Set the tags of your jobs back to your own runners.
  2. Open Settings → GitLab.
  3. Choose Remove, then Confirm removal.
  4. Check that the runners named Peak are gone from GitLab.
