Install GitLab Runner as a separate layer for caching
What does this merge request do and why?
Attempt to reduce the amount of memory needed to build Gitpod image with podman
. A patch from !2782 (closed).
The MR removes GITLAB_RUNNER_DISABLE_SKEL=true
which is the default since 14.0.
I am also leaving apt
cache, because if it is not cleaned up immediately, it will increase the size of image anyway. And if is it removed at this point, then support/bootstrap-packages
will have to redownload it, which will increase image build time. I believe the build time is more critical here.
