In the global section, you can define the limit of the jobs that can be run
concurrently across all Runners (
`concurrent`
). This heavily depends on your
needs, like how many users your Runners will accommodate, how much time your
builds take, etc. You can start with something low, and increase its value going
forward.
The
`check_interval`
setting defines in seconds how often the Runner should
check GitLab for new jobs.

From the
`[[runners]]`
section, the most important part is the
`executor`
which
must be set to
`docker+machine`
. All those settings are taken care of when you
register the Runner for the first time.

In the
`[runners.docker]`
section you can define the default Docker image to
be used by the child Runners if it's not defined in
[
`.gitlab-ci.yml`
](
../../ci/yaml/README.md
)
.
Using
`privileged = true`
, all Runners will be able to run Docker in Docker
which is useful if you plan to build your own Docker images via GitLab CI/CD.
Next, we use
`disable_cache = true`
to disable the Docker executor's inner
cache mechanism since we will use the distributed cache mode as described
below.
