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:

Open <gitlab enterprise url>/profile/applications as a GitLab admin, where <gitlab enterprise url> is the URL of your GitLab Enterprise instance.
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
```
- Scopes: Enable the scopes:
  - api
  - read_user
  - read_repository
  - openid
Click Save application and take note of the generated Application Id and Secret.

Configure GitLab Enterprise on Codacy#

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

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

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

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 4.1.0 \
             --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:

Open <gitlab enterprise url>/admin/hooks as a GitLab admin, where <gitlab enterprise url> is the URL of your GitLab Enterprise instance.
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.
Click Save Changes to save the System Hook.
