+### On GitLab
+
+GitLab CI runners are typically Docker based and run as the `root` user. This means `systemd` is not present, so the `--init none` option needs to be passed to the Linux planner. 
+
+On the default [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/) runners, `nix` can be installed and used like so:
+
+```yaml
+test:
+  script:
+  - curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install linux --no-confirm --init none
+  - . /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh
+  - nix run nixpkgs#hello
+  - nix profile install nixpkgs#hello
+  - hello
+```
+
+If you are using different runners, the above example may need to be adjusted.
+
 ### Without systemd (Linux only)
