How much routine network traffic will the runner generate? Obviously, it will need to pull the Docker image when it is updated, and that will happen occasionally, but I'm more curious about the building & testing itself. Will there be large logs or build artifacts sent back to GitLab or otherwise served to people browsing the project? I might be willing to plug in a cheap, headless computer to crank through patches night and day, but probably not if it will upload GBs of results. — Dan
