The main purpose of that api is to simplify CI/CD builds that have to be access gitlab to add tags, etc... Current gitlab api requires to pass project id to most of the endpoinds and that forces to store it in builds parameters. Usually builds already have http link to gitlab repo (like http://git.example.com/app/app-client.git) as parameter and this api allows to access gitlab using repo link only.

• Get project id by http repository url
• Get raw file by http repository url and path
• Add tag by http repository url

All endpoints are documented in swagger. It must be available here: http://domain-or-ip:80/swagger/

You can quickly run a container with a pre-built docker image using docker-compose.yaml.

1. Update the following environment params in docker-compose.yaml

- App__Access__Key:  Key to secure api endpoints
- App__GitLab__Url: Url to gitlab api, like: https://example.com/api
- App__GitLab__Token: Token that has access to gitlab projects

2. Start docker-compose

docker-compose up -d

3. Open swagger: http://domain-or-ip:80/swagger/

Pull code from repository and run the following command:

docker build --pull -t gitlab-api-extender .
