Actually both. It's some setup of a customer who does not use Yocto yet 
on their boards ad I would like to help them replace some Linux distro 
with the yocto project and therefor need gitlab-runner on the boards as 
well as kicking off a bitbake.

In case you have something which already does something it's more than I 
have and we can try to polish it ;)

Regards,

Robert
