Currently when I start a build in GitlabCI it is running under gitlab-runner user. I want to change it the company's internal user. I didn't find any parameter to the /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml which is solve that.
My current configuration:
concurrent = 1
[[runners]]
name = "deploy"
url = ""
token = ""
executor = "shell"
Running ps aux | grep gitlab you can see:
/usr/bin/gitlab-ci-multi-runner run --working-directory /home/gitlab-runner --config /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml --service gitlab-runner --syslog --user gitlab-runner
Service is running with option --user.
So let's change this, it depends on what distro. you are running it. If systemd, there is a file:
/etc/systemd/system/gitlab-runner.service:
[Service]
StartLimitInterval=5
StartLimitBurst=10
ExecStart=/usr/bin/gitlab-ci-multi-runner "run" "--working-directory" "/home/gitlab-runner" "--config" "/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml" "--se
Bingo, let's change this file now:
gitlab-runner uninstall
gitlab-runner install --working-directory /home/ubuntu --user ubuntu
reboot the machine or reload the service (i.e. systemctl daemon-reload), et voilà!
