GoGraz Go User Group Graz

Welcome to the March edition of GoGraz! This month Christoph Lipautz is going to give a talk about pogo, a GitLab executor using podman!

Afterwards we’ll have the usual discussion round and a quick review of what happened since the last meetup.

Pogo demo

• Goal was to basically become independent of Docker.
• eyeson-team/pogo
• https://podman.io
• Registered as custom executor with the GitLab runner
• Security incident 2021 where someone managed to gain access through the CI infrastructure.
• pogo definitely has the best-places logo on any GitHub page 😅
• Custom executors basically need to define handlers for the stages config, prepare, run, and cleanup. These handlers are basically just shell commands.
• Pogo can be configured to mount additional folders from the host machine depending on a job’s tags.
• You can also specify a custom auth file to handle access to container registries specific to the executor.
• gitlab-runner will be run again by the executor in order to do the cache management etc.
