Hi Adam,

Sorry for the late response.

I noticed your fork and was wondering what you were up to ;-)

Sorry, proper documentation is still on my TODO list. Glad the issue
notes got you up to speed.

Cool! As for the docker login, I'm not sure what needed to be changed
code wise but note that I provision the GitLab Runner with registry
credentials in its ~/.docker/config.json from an environment variable
set in a local .env file read by `docker compose` at runner startup.
That way neither `docker login` nor GitLab CI/CD variables are needed.

Pull requests are welcome! Feel free to create issues.

I've never had the need so far to support other architectures and don't
know yet what would be involved. I'm open to pointers and suggestions.

Fully agree on that but there was mention on this or the DNG list that
running a GitLab instance just to make CI/CD work might be overkill.
IIRC, someone mentioned Drone CI and there are other candidates. Before
going ahead, I really like to revisit the choice of CI/CD solution for
the project (see #2).
