Hi Peter,

Yes, I've made some progress on some of the points raised on the last
email exchanges:

 1) Jobs on non-Linux OS. I've built/setup gitlab-runner for FreeBSD,
    and tested a job:
    - https://gitlab.com/cleber.gnu/qemuci/-/jobs/440379169
    
    There are some limitations on a library that gitlab-runner uses to
    manage services (and that has no implementation for FreeBSD "services").
    But, there are workarounds that work allright.

 2) Wrote a script that checks/waits on the pipeline:
    - https://gitlab.com/cleber.gnu/qemuci/-/commit/d90c5cf917c43f06c0724dc025205d618521c4cc

 3) Wrote machine setup documentation/scripts.

I'm tidying it all up to send a PR in the next day or two.

Thanks for your patience!
- Cleber.
