# Using GitLab
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As many applications depend on accessing JSON apis you eventually need them in order for your tests to run.
|
||
|
|
In this example we are providing GitLab as a Microservice to be accessible for API clients.
|
||
|
|
Below you are guided how to do this with the Docker executors of GitLab Runner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use GitLab with the Docker executor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're using [GitLab Runner](../runners/README.md) with the Docker/Kubernetes executor,
|
||
|
|
you basically have everything set up already.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` add:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
services:
|
||
|
|
- name: gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest
|
||
|
|
alias: gitlab
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
variables:
|
||
|
|
GITLAB_HTTPS: "false" # ensure that plain http will work
|
||
|
|
GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD: "password" # in order to access the api with user root:password
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To set values for the `GITLAB_HTTPS`, `GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD`,
|
||
|
|
[assign them to a variable in the user interface](../variables/README.md#project-cicd-variables),
|
||
|
|
then assign that variable to the corresponding variable in your
|
||
|
|
`.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From your ci `script:` the API will then be availible at `http://gitlab/api/v4`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're wondering why we used `gitlab` for the `Host`, read more at
|
||
|
|
[How services are linked to the job](../docker/using_docker_images.md#extended-docker-configuration-options).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use any other Docker image available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/gitlab).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `gitlab` image can accept some environment variables. For more details,
|
||
|
|
see the [omnibus documentation](../../install/README.md).
