Description

The primary goal of this module is to install GitLab and enable its integration with externally managed Nginx, PostgreSQL, and Docker Registry.

Setup

What gitlabinstall affects

The gitlabinstall Puppet module installs the gitlab-ce Omnibus package from packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce. The exact package version should be specified.

Additionally, it can manage the setup of Nginx (non-bundled) and PostgreSQL (also non-bundled).

SSL certificates management is also included.

Setup Requirements

It requires to use custom fork of Puppet Nginx module located on GitHub.

For .fixtures.yml

nginx:
  repo: https://github.com/aursu/puppet-nginx.git
  ref: tags/v5.0.1-1

and for Puppetfile:

mod 'nginx',
  :git => 'https://github.com/aursu/puppet-nginx.git',
  :tag => 'v5.0.1-1'

Also requires non-published on Puppet Forge module aursu::lsys which is set of different basic profiles

Puppetfile setup:

mod 'lsys',
  :git => 'https://github.com/aursu/puppet-lsys.git',
  :tag => 'v0.21.0'

Beginning with gitlabinstall

Main class for GitLab installation is gitlabinstall::gitlab:

class { 'gitlabinstall':
  external_url          => 'https://gitlab.domain.tld',
}
class { 'gitlabinstall::gitlab':
  database_password     => 'secret',
  gitlab_package_ensure => '13.3.5-ce.0.el7',
}

Usage

External container registry integration

Use it with registry installed on separate host and on the same host as PuppetDB:

  class { 'gitlabinstall':
    external_url          => 'https://gitlab.domain.tld',
  }

  class { 'gitlabinstall::gitlab':
    cert_identity             => '*.domain.tld',
    # DevCI has PuppetDB which listen on 8080, PuppetDB could be used
    # externally but not GitLab Unicorn
    gitlab_rails_port         => 8008,
    monitoring                => false,
    external_registry_service => true,
    registry_host             => 'registry.domain.tld',
    registry_api_url          => 'http://registry.domain.tld:5000',
    gitlab_package_ensure     => '12.10.14-ce.0.el7',
  }

Use it with registry on the same host:

  class { 'gitlabinstall':
    external_url          => 'https://gitlab.domain.tld',
  }

  class { 'gitlabinstall::gitlab':
    cert_identity             => '*.domain.tld',
    external_registry_service => true,
    registry_host             => 'registry.domain.tld',
  }

LDAP settings

Basic setup:

  class { 'gitlabinstall':
    external_url          => 'https://gitlab.domain.tld',
    ldap_enabled          => true,
    ldap_host             => 'ldap.mydomain.com',
    ldap_password         => 'secret',
    ldap_base             => 'ou=people,dc=gitlab,dc=example',
  }

  class { 'gitlabinstall::gitlab':
    cert_identity             => '*.domain.tld',
    external_registry_service => true,
    registry_host             => 'registry.domain.tld',
  }

With more LDAP settings:

  class { 'gitlabinstall':
    external_url          => 'https://gitlab.domain.tld',
  }

  class { 'gitlabinstall::ldap':
    host                  => 'ldap.mydomain.com',
    password              => 'secret',
    base                  => 'ou=people,dc=gitlab,dc=example',

    bind_dn               => 'CN=Gitlab,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com',
  }

  class { 'gitlabinstall::gitlab':
    cert_identity             => '*.domain.tld',
    external_registry_service => true,
    registry_host             => 'registry.domain.tld',
    ldap_enabled              => true,
  }
