I have a gitlab-ci server that works fine and can connect to my gitlab server. Please let someone point me to the correct guide on how to run my django unittest / builds using thanks from gitlab-ci.
Sorry if you answered the old question, but it seems that the general way to start the assembly is to use gitlab-ci runner ; which is apparently an application that interacts with the gitlab-ci API .
How some people run runners with images of dockers (to "freeze" the build / testing environment). See these links for basic information on how this works:
Finally, look at the python runner image to run builds on your python projects.
