Adopt UBI-8 minimal for GitLab Runner and Runner Helper UBI images
Status update - Runner PM (2023-03-21)
-
We have decided to change to UBI-8 minimal in the 15.11 release.
-
The change to UBI-8 minimal does not impact runner execution of CI jobs and therefore is not considered a breaking change.
-
Users that build a custom
gitlab-runner
image using this image as the base need to be aware that certain package managers, for exampleDNF
are not available in UBI-8 minimal.
Description
The GitLab Runner and Runner Helper UBI images are built using RedHat's UBI 8 image. However, Red Hat's UBI 8 minimal offers a smaller base image footprint.
Proposal
Update the GitLab Runner UBI and GitLab Runner Helper UBI images to use UBI-8 minimal
