`# HOWTO Setup Gitlab CI with Gerrit

Setup GitLab CI

Create a gerrit user and give it "Maintainer" accesso to a group.

Setup Gerrit

Install Gerrit

Download and install Gerrit from https://www.gerritcodereview.com/, see Linux instructions here.

Configure the database and create an instance as described here.

Create a gerrit system user, assign all instance files to that user and run Gerrit as that user:

chown -R gerrit:gerrit gerrit-instance

Configure Gerrit to mirror changes to GitLab

Install the replication plugin then add the following configuration to etc/replication.config:

[remote "gitlab"]
	url = [email protected]:groupname/${name}.git 
	push = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
	push = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
	push = +refs/changes/*:refs/heads/review/*
	replicationDelay = 0
	createMissingRepositories = true

(customize gitlab.example.com and groupname with a group name your gerrit user has access to).

Gerrit -> GitLab auth

Create an ssh-key pair in the home of the gerrit system user and copy the public key in the GitLab gerrit user profile.

GitLab -> Gerrit auth

Create a user in the Gerrit database and assign it to the Non-Interactive Users group, using the ssh-key of gitlab-runner user for authentication:

cat ~gitlab-runner/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh -p 29418 localhost 'gerrit create-account --group "Administrators" --ssh-key - gitlab'
ssh -p 29418 localhost 'gerrit set-account --add-email [email protected] gitlab'
ssh -p 29418 localhost 'gerrit set-account --full-name GitLab gitlab'

Assign the new user to the Non-Interactive Users group via Gerrit UI and check the result:

ssh -p 29418 localhost 'gerrit ls-members "Non-Interactive Users"'
