Mathieu Duponchelle f33f728b82 ci/README: basic instructions for running locally
These should be extended upon by someone more knowledgeable with the
topic, but that's the basic information I would want to find there
in order to start debugging CI issues locally.

This repository contains all material relevant to the GStreamer
Continuous Integration system.

* Docker images

* Build scripts and code

Basic instructions for reproducing CI issues locally
====================================================

Note the URL of the image in the job logs, for instance:

```
Using docker image sha256:ac097589af0f486321adf7e512f2237c55533b9b08dabb49164a521a374d406d for registry.freedesktop.org/ocrete/gstreamer/amd64/fedora:2022-12-10.0-main with digest registry.freedesktop.org/ocrete/gstreamer/amd64/fedora@sha256:a2f7be944964a115ada2b3675c190bc9a094a5b35eba64a1ac38d52d55d13663
```

Pull the image:

```
docker pull registry.freedesktop.org/ocrete/gstreamer/amd64/fedora:2022-12-10.0-main
```

Run it:

```
docker run -it fedora:2022-12-10.0-main
```

At this point, you want to clone the relevant branch, eg if the issue occurs with main:

```
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer.git
cd gstreamer
```

Adapt the above to your situation.

Now, export the relevant variables by observing the job logs and `.gitlab-ci.yml` at
he root of the GStreamer repository, then run the steps listed in the script section.
