Opstella Standard GitLab CI/CD Pipelines Installation

Opstella Standard GitLab CI/CD Pipelines Installation

Visit Opstella Standard GitLab CI/CD Pipelines on git.opsta.io Repository

You will be cloning the repository to your own GitLab Instance that your have provisioned

Access to these repositories has to be granted first

git.opsta.io/opstella/templates and git.opsta.io/opstella/cicd/standard-pipeline are internal Opstella repositories — they are not readable by every account that can sign in to git.opsta.io. Without membership, every path answers the same way, whether it exists or not:

remote: The project you were looking for could not be found or you don't have permission to view it.

This is indistinguishable from a typo, so confirm access before starting this page: ask Opstella for at least Reporter on the two repositories, or for the templates delivered as an archive if the installation is done by someone outside Opstella.

1. Create GitLab Group to Root Group > opstella-cicd Group

   Group Attributes

   • Group Name: opstella-cicd

   • Group URL: opstella-cicd

   • Visibility Level: Internal

     

   • Leave the rest to Default Configuration

2. Create GitLab Project pipeline-template

   Project Attributes

   • Project name: pipeline-template
   • Project slug: pipeline-template
   • Visibility Level: Internal
   • Untick Initialize repository with a README

   

3. Clone Opstella Standard GitLab CI/CD Pipelines on git.opsta.io Repository to this repository

Copying a repository across instances

Cloning normally brings the default branch only. Mirror it, so every branch and tag arrives:

git clone --mirror git@git.opsta.io:opstella/cicd/standard-pipeline.git
cd standard-pipeline.git
git push --mirror git@gitlab.${BASE_DOMAIN}:opstella-cicd/pipeline-template.git

Note

Use the SSH remote for the destination. On a fresh instance the HTTPS endpoint is often not reachable yet (no DNS, ports not open, certificate not trusted), and the SSH key of the machine doing the push has to be added to the GitLab user that owns the target Project — root on a fresh install.
