leelow/gitlab-webhook-publish

A minimal server which allows to publish a package after a commit.

gitlab-webhook-publish

This project consist of a lite server using gitlab hooker mechanism to easily synchronise a npm package hosted on gitlab with a repository server.

How it works

It is very simple. Using gitlab system hooker project_create, we can detect when a new repository is created and then add a gitlab webhooker which send a post request to the webhook server which then execute the npm publish command.

Install

You can install it using npm install gitlab-webhook-publish or downloading this repository. You have then to edit the config file config/local.json.

{
  "webhooker": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3000,                        /* Port of the server */
    "filter": {
      "namespace" : "^local-app$",       /* Regex to filter using project namespace */
      "branch" : "^refs\/heads\/master$" /* Regex to filter using project branch */
    }
  },
  "gitlab": {
    "url": "http://localhost:80",        /* The url of the gitlab server */
    "token": "dBqAHFnJsgMPTzzP6qGu",     /* The admin token (used to add webhooks) */
    "admin_login": "root",               /* The admin login (used to repo ddl)  */
    "admin_password": "password"         /* The admin password */
  },
  "npm_registry": {
    "url": "https://registry.npmjs.org", /* Url of the npm registry */ 
    "login": "iprotectmyaccount",        /* The account login (used to to publish) */  
    "password": "12345678",              /* The account password */  
    "email": "[email protected]"         /* The account email */  
  }
}

To finish the installation, you have to add (only ONE time), a system hooker on gitlab (if you have a programmatically way to add a system hooker on gitlab, please contact me).

To do that, go to Admin Area > Hooks. In URL input, add http://<WEBHOOKER_HOST>:<WEBHOOKER_PORT>/project_create. You can left Secret Token input empty. Check Push events checkbox. You can enable or not the SSL Verification if you want.

Then ENJOY !
