What is the recommended way to use the runner?

Hi,

I know I want to use docker executor but the runner is also currently running in a container.
What are the pros/cons for having the runner as it’s own container compared to just install it on the host (ubuntu)

From what was posted here: Upcoming GitLab.com narrow breaking changes to Secure Analyzers in GitLab 13.4 | GitLab

Docker-in-docker is deprecated, so you won’t be able to run gitlab-runner in a docker instance, and then attempt to use docker with your gitlab-runner. Therefore you would have to configure the gitlab runner executor with a different value than docker: Advanced configuration | GitLab
