Although this blog talks about building Android APKs pretty much the same 
applies to any other builds that were previously done on Binary Factory, i.e. 
you add some GitLab job template(s) to your .gitlab-ci.yml and maybe add some 
settings for Craft to a .craft.ini file:
https://blogs.kde.org/2023/11/13/apks-now-built-invent

See
https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/ci-utilities/-/blob/master/gitlab-templates/
README.md
for a list of all GitLab job template(s).

Additionally, have a look at
https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/ci-utilities/-/blob/master/signing/README.md
which explains how to enable the different signing/publishing services used on 
invent for KStars.

Regards,
Ingo
