Install gitlab runner:

$ sudo apt install gitlab-runner

Register gitlab runner:

$ sudo gitlab-runner register

This command will prompt for some inputs. Give the values described below to the associated inputs:

> executor: docker
> docker-image: debian:latest
> description: (give any description to your liking)
