GitHub repository for runner
@sytses Maybe we should create GitHub repository to host mirror of gitlab-ci-multi-runner? Currently it's served from my account. It's needed to create trusted builds and I would prefer to link them to GitLab organisation instead.
There are currently two images:
- gitlab/runner - dockerised GitLab Runner image
- gitlab/dind - docker-in-docker image to allow docker-based flow: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/gitlab-ci/issues/296

Lets solve https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/organization/issues/269 first.
@sytses Whatever way we solve the #269 (closed) I would pin repository name. Is it ok for runner to live under
gitlab/runner(https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/gitlab/runner/) ?@ayufan That is OK but I would have preferred
gitlab-runner(same as preferred repo name and how we write it).@ayufan Thanks
@sytses We don't have separate omnibus package for CI. Do you think that we should have?
@ayufan No, just wanted to let you know the canonical names.
@sytses Ok, great. The new repository is created and linked: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/gitlab/gitlab-runner/
@ayufan Nice, thanks for changing.
Added improvement label
Hi there, I found this naming with or without "multi" pretty confusing. The docker github repo is named "gitlab-ci-multi-runner" the docker image "gitlab" and this repo is named "gitlab-ci-multi-runner" and the doc about launching runners as docker services mentions gitlab-runner.
Might I suggest you put a note in the docs about the naming in the "runner as docker service" part. Also, I think hosting the github repo under the gitlab account will help identifying the correct official repo.
@RayRutjes I agree the naming is bad. The official name is "GitLab Runner" and we'll try to ensure we use it as much as possible. Can you maybe link to the docker image you mean?
@RayRutjes I'll add to docs clear message what is the official repo, official docker images and official name to make it clear.
Great, I think other users will benefit from this clarification. @sytses the docker image from the docs is https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-runner/, but at first I thought that the one to use was https://hub.docker.com/r/ayufan/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/
After digging in, they are the same, but if you want people to adopt the new convention, maybe deleting and migrating all repos containing "multi" is the way to go. I don't know the SEO implications though, can we make redirections in github/gitlab/dockerhub?
@ayufan Thanks! Can you delete https://hub.docker.com/r/ayufan/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/ ?
