Hi there,
this Merge Request aims to clarify the documentation regarding the use of the
gitlab_runner_registration_token
. I initially understood the current wording,it is recommended to specify a token for each runner
as a suggestion rather than a requirement. The clarification here highlights that specifying a token for each runner is required, not just recommended, whengitlab_runner_registration_token_type
is set toauthentication-token
.An alternative proposal would be allowing the global gitlab_runner_registration_token to be used with the --token command by default in the same way it works with the --registration-token option. That would simplify the process for registering multiple runners, as in the current GitLab Release it is intended to reuse a single token to register multiple hosts grouped as a single runner.
