Yes because that works reasonably well on gitlab. The only problem is that you might have to setup other things as their ubuntu image is very light. Software like zip or even git are not there by default. A simple example of `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to support D is --- job: image: dlang2/dmd-ubuntu before_script: # tools that are not in their base ubuntu image - apt-get update -y - apt-get install -y supplemental_package_x - apt-get install -y supplemental_package_y # similarly to what's done on most of the other CI services script: - bash some_script.sh - dub build - dub test # - etc. ---
