Installation

Debian and derivates (Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS are supported, other versions may also work...)

Add repository by running these commands

$ wget -O - https://repository.salamek.cz/deb/salamek.gpg.key|sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb     https://repository.salamek.cz/deb/pub all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salamek.cz.list

And then you can install a package gitlab-tools

$ apt update && apt install gitlab-tools

Archlinux

Add repository by adding this at end of file /etc/pacman.conf

[salamek]
Server = https://repository.salamek.cz/arch/pub
SigLevel = Optional

and then install by running

$ pacman -Sy gitlab-tools

Docker

You can create your docker-compose stack to run this application on docker. You can visit cenk1cenk2/docker-gitlab-tools for more information on the container.

Setup

After successful installation you will need to run setup to configure your installation:

$ gitlab-tools setup

This will start simple setup utility where you can/must configure

1. gitlab-tools user (default: gitlab-tools, should be created after install)
2. Database type to use, PostgreSQL is recommended database to use (you can use other database types only on your own risk)
   1. Database host (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or path (Only SQLite)
   2. Database name (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
   3. Database user (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
   4. Database password (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
3. Webserver configuration (Host and port makes sense only when using integrated web server controlled by gitlab-tools service)
4. Server name (eg.: https://gitlab-tools.example.com or IP:PORT when using integrated webserver)
5. GitLab API configuration (you can follow this guide till point 7. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/gitlab.html) redirect url is https://gitlab-tools.example.com/sign/in/do where example.com is your server domain
   1. Gitlab APP ID: Application Id
   2. Gitlab APP SECRET: Secret
   3. Gitlab SSH: hostname and port where is your gitlab SSH port exposed in format gitlab.com:22
6. Save new configuration ? -> y (this will create config file in /etc/gitlab-tools/config.yml)
7. Recreate database ? -> y (this will create new empty database)
8. Restart services to load new configuration ? -> y this will restart all gitlab-tools services:
   1. gitlab-tools: Controlling integrated webserver, disable this one if you want to use uwsgi or so.
   2. gitlab-tools_celeryworker: Controlling backround workers, must be enabled and running to perform mirroring
   3. gitlab-tools_celerybeat: Controlling celery scheduler

This creates/updates config file in /etc/gitlab-tools/config.yml, you can modify this file manualy

After this you should have gitlab-tools running on your "server name"

Running behind UWSGI

Install uwsgi

$ apt install uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3

Create uwsgi application configuration file at /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/gitlab-tools.example.com.ini:

[uwsgi]
uid = gitlab-tools
master = true
chdir = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gitlab_tools
socket = /tmp/gitlab-tools.sock
module = wsgi
callable = app
plugins = python3
buffer-size = 32768

Link this config file to /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled by running

$ ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/gitlab-tools.example.com.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/

Restart uwsgi to load new configuration

$ systemctl restart uwsgi

Now you should have /tmp/gitlab-tools.sock socket file created, check that by running

$ file /tmp/gitlab-tools.sock

Webserver NGINX

Install nginx by running

apt install nginx

Create configuration file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab-tools.example.com:

# Uncomment this when using SSL
#server {
#    listen       80;
#    listen       [::]:80;
#    server_name  gitlab-tools.example.com;
#    return       301 https://gitlab-tools.example.com$request_uri;
#}

server {
        # Uncomment these to use SSL
        #listen 443 ssl http2;
        #listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
        # Comment these to use SSL
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name gitlab-tools.example.com;

        root /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gitlab_tools;

        # Uncomment these to use SSL
        #ssl on;
        #ssl_certificate letsencrypt/certs/example.com/fullchain.pem;
        #ssl_certificate_key letsencrypt/certs/example.com/privkey.pem;

        location '/.well-known/acme-challenge' {
                default_type "text/plain";
                root        /var/tmp/letsencrypt-auto;
        }

        location / {
                uwsgi_pass unix:///tmp/gitlab-tools.sock;
                include uwsgi_params;
        }
}

Link this file to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled by running

$ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab-tools.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

And restart nginx

$ systemctl restart nginx

Now you should have gitlab-tools accessible at server_name
