Compile under FreeBSD

Is there a way? I was able to make some changes in source code to compile on FreeBSD amd64 9.2:

Added +build freebsd to commands/config_unix.go

Changed "-go get golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc" to sys/unix, because it was throwing error: no buildable Go source files in ~/Go/src/golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc

Compiled with command

GOOS=freebsd GOARCH=amd64 BUILD_PLATFORMS=-os="linux" go build

but resulting binary can only register runners. Run, install, start - all throw FATA[0000] No service system detected.

Milestone changed to v0.7.0

You can use GitLab Runner in no-service mode (gitlab-runner run). As for service installation the module that we use for that (https://github.com/kardianos/service) doesn't have support for freebsd. When it will have it will work out of the box.

Status changed to closed

Milestone changed to v0.6.0

You can use GitLab Runner in no-service mode (gitlab-runner run).

I cannot.

# /data/gitlabci_runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/gitlab-ci-multi-runner-freebsd-amd64 run -n gitlab-runner -c /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml
FATA[0000] No service system detected.

Also, according to the code, 'run' command also uses golang-kardianos-service module

Ok, maybe we can fix the kardianos-service to support freebsd?

@iavael GitLab Runner is the deprecated one, it works fine on FreeBSD.

Only new multi runner requires services.

@Mikanoshi You can also run it in run-single mode :)

At least make it compile on FreeBSD, can't even test run-single mode.
