To run a build locally (not via GitLab CI), you'll need to first export a few Vault-related environment variables:
export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.lab.example.com/" # your Vault server
export VAULT_NAMESPACE="example/LAB" # (if using namespaces in Vault Enterprise)
export VAULT_TOKEN="abcdefg" # insert a Vault token IDAlternatively, put those same export commands into a script called vault-env.sh.
Then just run ./build.sh [BUILD], where [BUILD] is one of the descriptors listed above. For example, to build Ubuntu 22.04:
./build.sh ubuntu2204
