GitLab CI Docs Bot

This script starts a simple web server which accepts requests from GitLab webhooks and downloads artifacts from the latest build to a defined directory.

Installation

# apt-get install python-setuptools python-pip python-yaml
# python setup.py install
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable gitlab-autodocs.service
# systemctl start gitlab-autodocs.service

Configuration

Initial

Add a new user in GitLab called docs-bot and get his API-Key. Then edit /etc/gitlab-autodocs.yaml and set your GitLab URL and the API key.

Add new repos to sync

You need to create a .docs-bot.yml in your repository, example:

docs:
  extract_to: /var/www/docs/autodocs-ci-test
  download_delay: 10
  stages:
    - docs

docs needs to be the root entry of .docs-bot.yml

• extract_to directory to put artifacts
• download_delay since GitLab triggers before uploading artifacts, you can configure a delay before fetching them
• stages if defined, only sync specified build stages configured in .gitlab-ci.yml

In GitLab, you need to grant docs-bot access to your repo and add a new webhook which triggers on build events, pointing to your docsync URL.
