Requirements​

Deploying on Lagoon?​

Add the token as an environment variable through the Lagoon dashboard by following the steps below:

Adding the token as a project variable​

  1. Navigate to the Lagoon dashboard and choose the desired project where you wish to add the variable.
  2. Click on the Variables tab on the sidebar.
  3. Click on the Add button.
  4. Fill in the details as follows:
Variable Configuration
  • Scope: Build
  • Name: GITLAB_API_TOKEN
  • Value: The token value which you've previously generated.
  1. Click on the Add project variable button to add the variable.
  2. Trigger a redeployment of your project environments to apply the changes and ensure the variable becomes available.

Referencing the token in the docker file​

Once the token is added as a project variable, it can be referenced in your docker file (eg. ./lagoon/cli.dockerfile) as shown below:

Frontend project example:​
ARG GITLAB_API_TOKEN
RUN echo "@acromedia:registry=https://git.acromedia.com/api/v4/packages/npm/" >> .npmrc
RUN echo "//git.acromedia.com/api/v4/packages/npm/:_authToken=${GITLAB_API_TOKEN}" >> .npmrc
RUN echo "//git.acromedia.com/api/v4/projects/:_authToken=${GITLAB_API_TOKEN}" >> .npmrc
Drupal project example:​
ARG GITLAB_API_TOKEN
RUN if [[ -n "${GITLAB_API_TOKEN}" ]] ; then \
  composer config gitlab-token.git.acromedia.com ${GITLAB_API_TOKEN}; \
  fi
