gitlab-ci-runner

I've set up my own Gitlab server with one project and a Gitlab runner configured for it. I'm new to continuous integration server and therefore don't know how to accomplish the following. Every time I commit to the master branch of my project I would like to deploy the repository to another server and run two shell-commands there ( npm install and forever restartall ) How would I do this? Do I need a runner on the machine which the project is deployed to as well? michael You could use gitlab-ci and gitlab-runner [runners.ssh] to deploy to single or mutiple servers. the flow: (git_project with

I am getting " Enter passphrase for /dev/fd/63 " error when my " .gitlab-ci.yml " tries to remote to my Ubuntu server for executing SSH commands. I have created a new variable called " STAGING_PRIVATE_KEY " and the value is the private key that I personally use to SSH to the server, but providing the same key to ".gitlab-ci.yml" fails to authenticate. Below is my yml file: deploy_staging: stage: deploy before_script: - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )' - mkdir -p ~/.ssh - eval $(ssh-agent -s) - '[[ -f /.dockerenv ]] && echo -e "Host *\n

I'm trying to write a gitlab-ci.yml file which uses a multi-line string for the command. However, it seems like it is not being parsed. I've tried both the - | and - > with identical results. stages: - mystage Build: stage: mystage script: - | echo -e " echo 'hi'; echo 'bye'; " When it tries to run, it only shows echo -e ' as the script to run, and not the whole multiline string. This causes issues for me. What would be the correct syntax to write something like this? TL;DR; You want to use a multi-line YAML scalar (for readability) that is loaded as a single line string that can be issued as

I'm trying to use 'cache' in .gitlab-ci.yml ( http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html#cache ). My gitlab version is 8.2.1 and my Runner is: $ docker exec -it gitlab-runner gitlab-runner -v gitlab-runner version 0.7.2 (998cf5d) So according to the doc, everything is up to date, but I'm unable to use the cache ;-(. All my files are always deleted. Am I doing something wrong? A cache archive is created, but not passed to the next jobs. Here is my .gitlab-ci.yml $ cat .gitlab-ci.yml stages: - createcache - testcache createcache: type: createcache cache: untracked: true paths: - doc/ script: -

We use gitlab ci with shared runners to do our continuous integration. For each build, the runner downloads tons of maven artifacts. Is there a way to configure gitlab ci to cache those artifacts so we can speed up the building process by preventing downloading the same artifact over and over again? Gitlab CI allows you to define certain paths, which contain data that should be cached between builds, on a per job or build basis (see here for more details). In combination with khmarbaise's recommendation, this can be used to cache dependencies between multiple builds. An example that caches all
