if your Knative base domain is `knative.example.com` then you need to create an A record with domain `*.knative.example.com`
pointing the ip address of the ingress.
Simply click on the "**Install**" button for the GitLab Runner. It is important to note that the runner deployed is set as privileged, which means it essentially has root access to the underlying machine. This is required to build docker images, and so is on by default.
