GitLab Enterprise

Follow the instructions below to set up the Codacy Self-hosted integration with GitLab Enterprise:

Create a GitLab application

To integrate Codacy with GitLab Enterprise, you must create a GitLab application:

1. Open <gitlab enterprise url>/-/profile/applications as a GitLab admin, where <gitlab enterprise url> is the URL of your GitLab Enterprise instance.

2. Fill in the fields to register your Codacy instance on GitLab:

   • Name: Name of the application. For example, Codacy.

   • Redirect URI: Copy the URLs below, replacing the HTTP protocol and hostname with the correct values for your Codacy instance. This field is case sensitive.

     https://codacy.example.com/login/GitLabEnterprise
     https://codacy.example.com/add/addProvider/GitLabEnterprise
     https://codacy.example.com/add/addService/GitLabEnterprise
     https://codacy.example.com/add/addPermissions/GitLabEnterprise
     

   • Expire access tokens: Disable the option so that tokens don't expire.

     Note

     Currently, Codacy doesn't support expiring access tokens. Make sure that this option is turned off.

   • Scopes: Enable the scopes:

     • api
     • read_user
     • read_repository
     • openid

   

3. Click Save application and take note of the generated Application Id and Secret.

Note

You can ignore the following error that GitLab Enterprise may display when you test or save the new GitLab application:

This happens because GitLab Enterprise tests the new application by calling an endpoint that Codacy doesn't implement.

Configure GitLab Enterprise on Codacy

After creating the GitLab application, you must configure it on Codacy:

1. Edit the file values-production.yaml that you used to install Codacy.

2. Set global.gitlabEnterprise.enabled: "true" and define the remaining values as described below using the information obtained when you created the GitLab application:

   gitlabEnterprise:
     enabled: "true"
     login: "true" # Show login button for GitLab Enterprise
     hostname: "gitlab.example.com" # Hostname of your GitLab Enterprise instance
     protocol: "https" # Protocol of your GitLab Enterprise instance
     port: 443 # Port of your GitLab Enterprise instance
     clientId: "" # Application ID
     clientSecret: "" # Secret
   

3. Apply the new configuration by performing a Helm upgrade. To do so execute the command used to install Codacy:

   Important

   If you're using MicroK8s you must use the file values-microk8s.yaml together with the file values-production.yaml.

   To do this, uncomment the last line before running the helm upgrade command below.

   helm upgrade (...options used to install Codacy...) \
                --version 8.0.0 \
                --values values-production.yaml \
                # --values values-microk8s.yaml
   

After this is done you will be able to use GitLab Enterprise to authenticate to Codacy.

Detect changes to repositories and organizations

Optionally, Codacy can automatically detect the following changes to repositories and organizations on your GitLab Enterprise instance:

• For repositories: renames, deletes, and visibility changes
• For organizations: renames, deletes, and access removed

To do this, you must configure a System Hook on your GitLab Enterprise instance to notify Codacy of the changes:

1. Open <gitlab enterprise url>/admin/hooks as a GitLab admin, where <gitlab enterprise url> is the URL of your GitLab Enterprise instance.

2. Fill in the fields to create the System Hook:

   • URL: The URL of your Codacy instance with the path /2.0/events/gle/organization. For example, http://codacy.example.com/2.0/events/gle/organization

   • Secret Token: Copy the Application Secret from the GitLab application that you created previously, or from the value of clientSecret in the file values-production.yaml that you used to install Codacy.

   • Trigger: Enable the trigger Repository update events

   • SSL verification: Enable the SSL verification.

   

3. Click Save Changes to save the System Hook.
