Is it possible to execute runners locally when using `gitlab.com`? I.e., the equivalent of [GitHub’s self-hosted runners](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/hosting-your-own-runners)?

Yes: [https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/)

It can be installed wherever you want, on a server, on your PC, on a Raspi-pi in your local network…

Then, you can disable shared runners on [Gitlab.com](http://Gitlab.com), and register your runner in the project

Thanks! I’m going to try it with a couple different Raspberry Pi models, and see if I can use them as a little server farm.
