The config.toml file is what configures a runner. You wouldn't have one unless you're running your own gitlab-runners, in which case it would be in /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml on the host running the runner. More information on Gitlab Runner and running it yourself is available here.

If the S3 cache adapter is configured to use an IAM instance profile, the adapter uses the profile attached to the GitLab Runner machine. Similarly for GCS cache adapter, if configured to use the CredentialsFile. The file needs to be present on the GitLab Runner machine. This table lists config.toml, CLI options, and environment variables for register.

Where runner's configuration is saved
Hello. I have simple question I guess. Where is runner’s configuration stored (on disk) that is used after restart. For instance runner’s project assignment. Are we able to access it without user interface? More on forum.gitlab.com

Configuring a windows runner
Not at my computer right now, but it’s strange that it would look for files there. It should only need the .toml and the .exe Can you give some more info? Is the runner running? As a service or do you see the console output? Do you see the runner in gitlab? More on reddit.com

r/gitlab on Reddit: Configuring a windows runner
November 14, 2020 -

Hi all

I'm trying to configure a runner for windows, it is mostly done, but I get an error when trying to run a simple test pipeline.

I get the error:

error: could not lock config file C:\Windows\system32\builds\dsyGML5o\0\root\testproject.tmp\git-template\config: No such file or directory

I followed the Gitlab config and even watch tutorials on youtube but I always get back to this error message.
