Configure a GitLab App

Create a GitLab app that will contain the projects and repositories you want to manage and back up.

Before You Begin

If you are an MSP and you want your tenant administrators to create the DevOps app, see Managed Service Provider Configuration.

Navigate to Service Catalog

1. From the navigation pane, go to Service Catalog.

Choose GitLab

1. On the DevOps tile, click Configure.

2. Select GitLab, and then click Next.

   The Configure GitLab App wizard appears.

Enter a Descriptive Name for the Application

1. On the Connection Settings page, in the App name box, enter a descriptive name for the GitLab application.

2. To back up an on-premises GitLab enterprise server, in the Host URL box, enter the URL for the GitLab enterprise server.

3. In Token name, type the name of the token to access the app.

4. In the Access token box, enter the access token to access the app.

   For more information about creating an access token, go to the GitLab docs site.

   For information about the required access token permissions and user roles, see Personal Access Token Permissions.

5. Click Next.

   The Access Nodes page appears.

Access Node Selection

1. Choose one of the following options for access nodes:

   • Use hosted infrastructure: Select this option to use the hosted infrastructure provided by Commvault Cloud for backups.

   • Select the region where the GitLab data is hosted, and then click NEXT.

   • Use your access nodes for backups: Select this option if you want to use your own configured access nodes for performing backups.

     Note

     If the MSP has configured a workload resource pool in a single region and no access node is configured by the tenant, this step will not appear. Access nodes configured in the workload resource pool are selected automatically.

Plan Creation

1. Select an existing backup plan or create a new backup plan to associate with the GitLab app.

   If the region for hosted infrastructure is selected, only backup plans associated with that region are displayed.

Choose Backup Content

1. Select the backup content you want to protect, such as Deployments, Issues, Snippets, or Wikis.

Submit

1. Review your selections, and then click SUBMIT to complete the configuration.
