Role Variables

Repositories to clone

The project name will be used to test the api url from redmine and the apikey that will be used for githook Do not use ssh repos, it will not work due that we are not managing ssh keys.

redmine_repositories:
  reponame:
    project: "project_name_to_associate"
    repositoryurl: "https://somehost/someuser/repo.git"
    repositorydir: "name.git"

For private repos use user:pass@somehost

User to clone git-repositories

redmine_git_repos: "/opt/repositories"
redmine_git_user: "www-data"
redmine_git_user_password: "generate it with normal mkpasswd"

Test gitlab_hook plugin

After installing redmine go to admin / settings / repositories

Ensure you have configured Redmine/settings/gitlab_hook plugin enabled for all branches as it uses --mirror

# Enable: Enable WS for repository management
# Paste here your key
redmine_api_key: "somecode"

Ensure you have added your group_vars/redmine_servers/redmine_repos redmine_api_key value, before running this role.

And add redmine_git_test_gitlabhook: true to your vars

Adding repositories

To clone a repositories you must edit redmine_repositories var as shown in Vars.

If you have gitlab_hooks plugin:

Add to the web hooks:

http://redmineuy.group.upm.com/gitlab_hook?project_id=yourassociatedprojectforthisrepo&key=yourredmine_api_key

(don't use ssl verification for this case)

Add the repository to your project in redmine /projects/projectname/settings/repositories

on location path, just use the path specified in redmine_git_repos/repositorydir per repository synchronized
