Docs feedback: Clarify recommended installation method of GitLab Runners for Linux
On the one hand, we have the docs that suggest that the best way to install GitLab Runner for Linux is to use an official repo such as apt: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-repository.html
On the other hand, we have the "Show runner installation and registration instructions" popup in the CI/CD settings of GitLab (referring to GitLab.com) that describes a manual installation method using binary files. There is also no link to the full installation instructions.
Desired changes:
- Clarify what installation is best/should be recommended by default.
- Make both sources consistent in their recommendation.
- Link from the CI/CD settings dialog to the installation instructions. If this dialog will still describe a manual installation method in the future, add a note that this installation supports no update path, which is relevant due to possible security issues that would never be fixed in the local installation otherwise.
