FTR: https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/345 For Salsa CI, AFAIU, this means Salsa Admins would need to use for the gitlab-runner another type of google machine supporting nested-virtualisation (such as N1 or N2, instead of E1). I cannot say if that is possible/feasible. Thanks to the Salsa Admins for their work, BTW! I can talk for some of the debci *ARM* runners, and the current setup doesn't support nested virtualisation either. Cheers, -- Santiago
