Getting Started¶

What is Gemnasium Enterprise?¶

Gemnasium Enterprise Edition (GEE) is the self-hosted version of Gemnasium, designed to run on your own servers, inside your network. A private license key is required to use the software, otherwise no data will be synced with gemnasium.com (making your instance unusable).

To get a valid license key, please contact our support.

First steps¶

Gemnasium Enterprise is designed as a collaborative tool. Each project must be added inside a team context, that’s why the first thing to do is to create your team. The name must be unique in the Gemnasium Enterprise instance.

Add your collegues¶

Go to the “Team” section of the main menu, and press the “+ Add member” button to invite co-workers. The role of the invited user will grant him/her access to your team:

“Admin” users will be able to manage project and users
“Basic” users will be able to access projects only

Add projects¶

The first shortcut in the main menu “+ Add project” will allow you to add new projects to a team. Once the team is selected, a source must be chosen. By default, only “offline” projects are available, because your instance doesn’t know anything about external sources.

Offline projects will allow to upload dependencies files (Gemfile, Gemfile.lock, package.json,...) directly to a project. This kind of project is called “offline”, because Gemnasium can’t synchronize the files with an external source.

To add projects from github.com, or GitHub Enterprise, an external source must be created. Please refer to the corresponding pages in the “INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION” section of this documentation. More source types will be available in the next versions of Gemnasium Enterprise.

Prerequisites¶

Subscriptions¶

As Gemnasium Enterprise is provided as a docker image, you must have a Docker Hub or Quay account to download it.
A Gemnasium Enterprise license is required. If do not have your license yet, please contact our support.

System Requirements¶

Hardware¶

Physical or virtual system, or an instance running on a public or private IaaS.
1 vCPU
Minimum of 2GB RAM
Minimum 20GB hard disk space

Software¶

OS: RedHat (RHEL, Atomic Host, Centos & Fedora flavors), Debian Stable. Any OS running docker should work but is not officially supported.
Docker >= 1.9.1

Firewall configuration¶

Gemnasium Enterprise is designed to run behind your firewalls, inside your network. It should be completely isolated from the outside, especially from incoming connections.

Incoming traffic¶

Gemnasium only exposes two ports:

Port	Usage	Protocol
80	clear connection	http
443	secure connection	https

It’s your responsibility to configure your network and firewall to restrict access to these ports. By default, Gemnasium exposes port 80 only to redirect to port 443. Custom ports might be used, refer to License key if needed.

Outgoing traffic¶

While Gemnasium Enterprise should be completely isolated from the outside for incoming connections, some outgoing traffic is necessary for normal operation. The following ports must be open on your firewall for outgoing traffic:

Address	Port	Protocol	Usage
sync.gemnasium.com	443	tcp	Sync with Gemnasium main DB
index.docker.io	443	tcp	Pull updates of gemnasium/enterprise image, if used.
quay.io	443	tcp	Quay docker repository, if used.

What data is sent to sync.gemnasium.com?¶

Your content is private, and will remain private. But synchronizing all packages, versions, changelogs, advisories, etc. with Gemnasium’s main DB would require a huge amount of storage and a lot of bandwidth.

To avoid this situation, your instance of Gemnasium Enterprise periodically sends a list of the packages (dependencies) used in your projects to https://sync.gemnasium.com In return, Gemnasium syncer provides all the metadata corresponding to this request, including the security advisories. Gemnasium keeps the following information in private log entries:

Timestamp of the current sync request
Customer (based on license key)
Gemnasium version used
Number of packages per type (gems, npms, ...)

Note

Private dependencies are completely ignored by the syncer.

Advisories can be created at any time on Gemnasium.com; that’s why your instance synchronizes hourly. If one of your projects is using a dependency affected by a security issue, you will be notified by your instance within the hour.

Note

Gemnasium is using data (advisories) from security companies (partnerships only). Your data will never be submitted directly to these companies, but Gemnasium may share anonymized statistical data.

Run Gemnasium Enterprise¶

Gemnasium Enterprise is shipped as a single, all-included docker image.

Download Gemnasium Enterprise¶

In order to be able to download the Gemnasium Enterprise docker image, you must have one of these accounts:

Send us the name of the account used and we will share the image with that user.

Note

This documentation is based on Docker hub image URLs, ie: gemnasium/enterprise. If Quay is being used instead, prefix the image name to have quay.io/gemnasium/enterprise.

Preparing volumes¶

Persistent volumes are needed to store Gemnasium Enterprise data. The easiest way to get started, is to create local volumes on your server, but it can be any kind of volume supported by the docker engine.

License key¶

As you will see, in all the docker run commands, there is a -e LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_OWN_LICENSE_KEY \. You need to replace YOUR_OWN_LICENSE_KEY with the license we gave you. If you don’t have one, please get in touch and we’ll get that sorted.

Configuring SSL¶

A valid certificate must be provided to run Gemnasium Enterprise with the integrated SSL server (nginx). If you don’t need Gemnasium Enterprise to serve content on https directly, go directly to the section: Running without SSL.

The certificate files must be named after the server name.

Example: for gemnasium.example.com, the certificate files must be named:

gemnasium.example.com.cert.pem for the certificate
gemnasium.example.com.key.pem for its private key

Gemnasium will look for 2 files with the .cert.pem and .key.pem suffix.

If the certificate has an intermediate chain, it must concatenated after the server certificate:

cat server.cert.pem ca-chain.cert.pem > gemnasium.example.com.cert.pem

The 2 files must be available in /etc/gemnasium/ssl, inside the container.

docker run --detach  \
  --name gemnasium \
  --restart always \
  -v /host/path/to/ssl/:/etc/gemnasium/ssl \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -e LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_OWN_LICENSE_KEY \
  -v gemnasium-data:/var/opt/gemnasium/ \
  -v gemnasium-logs:/var/log/ \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  gemnasium/enterprise:latest

Note

Gemnasium needs the docker socket to be mounted only if the Reports feature is being used. If not, the line -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock can be safely removed.

This will pull and start Gemnasium Enterprise. Your instance will be available at https://gemnasium.example.com after a few seconds.

If you need to use a different port for https than 443, use the EXTERNAL_URL env var to specify the full URL of your Gemnasium Enterprise server, including the port used:

docker run --detach  \
  --name gemnasium \
  --restart always \
  -v /host/path/to/ssl/:/etc/gemnasium/ssl \
  -p 80:80 -p 8443:443 \
  -e LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_OWN_LICENSE_KEY \
  -e EXTERNAL_URL=https://gemnasium.example.com:8443/ \
  -v gemnasium-data:/var/opt/gemnasium/ \
  -v gemnasium-logs:/var/log/ \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  gemnasium/enterprise:latest

and start browsing https://gemnasium.example.com:8443/

Running without SSL¶

Warning

We strongly discourage running Gemnasium Enterprise without any SSL termination. This section is present if you already have SSL terminations, like secured reverse-proxies, ssl appliances, etc.

Run the image:

docker run --detach  \
  --name gemnasium \
  --restart always \
  -e REDIRECT_HTTP_TO_HTTPS=false \
  -e EXTERNAL_URL=https://gemnasium.example.com/ \
  -p 80:80 \
  -e LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_OWN_LICENSE_KEY \
  -v gemnasium-data:/var/opt/gemnasium/ \
  -v gemnasium-logs:/var/log/ \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  gemnasium/enterprise:latest

Note

The environment variable REDIRECT_HTTP_TO_HTTPS is true by default, and must be false in this case.

The service is available after a few seconds on the port 80 of your server. Use the EXTERNAL_URL variable to specify the full URL of your Gemnasium Enterprise server, including the port if necessary.

SELinux¶

Gemnasium Enterprise can’t be run directly on SELinux servers, because:

The volumes will be readonly by default
The docker socket will be restricted to the host

Use this command instead:

docker run --detach  \
  --name gemnasium \
  --restart always \
  -v /host/path/to/ssl/:/etc/gemnasium/ssl \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -e LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_OWN_LICENSE_KEY \
  -v gemnasium-data:/var/opt/gemnasium/:Z \
  -v gemnasium-logs:/var/log/:Z \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:Z \
  gemnasium/enterprise:latest

This will label the content inside the container with the exact MCS label that the container will run with, basically it runs chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t -l s0:c1,c2 /var/db where s0:c1,c2 differs for each container.

Volumes¶

Gemnasium is storing data in two folders, which should be mounted as volumes

Local location	Location in container	Usage
gemnasium-data (volume)	/var/opt/gemnasium	Gemnasium data
gemnasium-logs (volume)	/var/log	Gemnasium logs

Gemnasium data is composed mostly of the PostgreSQL database files, but also nsq data, etc. These files must be backed up, refer to the Data Backup. section.

The /var/log contains the OS logs, and everything dedicated to gemnasium in /var/log/gemnasium.

Finally, as explained in the License key section, your certificate and key must be available in the /etc/gemnasium/ssl folder.

Logging¶

By default, all logs will be sent to the standard output of the container (stdout), along with files in /var/log. This makes it easier to troubleshoot if needed.

Graylog¶

Gemnasium Enterprise can be configured to log to a distant Graylog server. To enable this feature, use the following environment variables:

Env variables	Usage
GRAYLOG_SERVICE_HOST	Graylog input hostname/ip
GRAYLOG_SERVICE_PORT	Graylog input port

Example:

docker run --detach  \
  --name gemnasium \
  --restart always \
  -v /host/path/to/ssl/:/etc/gemnasium/ssl \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -v gemnasium-data:/var/opt/gemnasium/ \
  -v gemnasium-logs:/var/log/ \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -e GRAYLOG_SERVICE_HOST=logs.example.log
  -e GRAYLOG_SERVICE_PORT=1515
  gemnasium/enterprise:latest

Both variables must be set to activate the GELF output.

Obtaining a shell¶

The docker image doesn’t have a SSH server, because docker provides everything needed to get a shell console inside the container:

docker exec -it gemnasium bash

will create a new bash session, with the root user.

Warning

With great power comes great responsibility: as root, you can damage files inside the container, including your persisted data.

SMTP setup¶

In order to send notifications (team invitations, digests, etc.), Gemnasium Enterprise needs a SMTP server. There is no such server included in the docker image, so an external SMTP server should be used. Note that SMTP connectivity is not fully required, just recommended.

Configuration¶

SMTP can be configured by passing environment variable to the docker container:

Env variables	Usage
SMTP_SERVICE_HOST	Server host address
SMTP_SERVICE_PORT	Server port
SMTP_USER_NAME	Username
SMTP_PASSWORD	Password
SMTP_INSECURE	Skip SSL verification

The SMTP password can be plain auth, or a secret (CRAM-MD5 auth). These variables are all optional.

SSL and TLS are supported, and will be automatically used if the port (SMTP_SERVICE_PORT) is 465 or 587.

The sender for email notifications will be by default app@gemnasium.com which can be an issue with your smtp server. It can be updated by passing the MAILER_EMAIL_FROM environment var to your Gemnasium Enterprise container.

Environment Variables¶

Gemnasium Enterprise is entirely configured using environment variables.

Variables persistence¶

If you don’t want to specify by hand all environment variables in docker run, you can create a file including all the variables to be set: Compose expects each line in an env file to be in VAR=VAL format. Lines beginning with # (i.e. comments) are ignored, as are blank lines.

To use the environment file, add the --env-file=[file name] to your docker run command line.

With docker-compose, the name should be named .env in the same directory as your docker-compose.yaml file, and will be loaded automatically. Remember to specify the env variables expected in the file, otherwise docker-compose will simply ignore them.

Variables List¶

Env variables	Usage	Required	Default
Main
`LICENSE_KEY`	Your GEE private license key	required
`EXTERNAL_URL`	Your GEE full URL	required
Logging
`GRAYLOG_SERVICE_HOST`	Graylog input hostname/ip	optional
`GRAYLOG_SERVICE_PORT`	Graylog input port	if `GRAYLOG_SERVICE_HOST` is set
SMTP
`SMTP_SERVICE_HOST`	SMTP server host	optional
`SMTP_SERVICE_PORT`	SMTP server port	optional	25
`SMTP_USER_NAME`	SMTP user	optional
`SMTP_PASSWORD`	SMTP password (plain auth) or secret (CRAM-MD5 auth)	optional
`SMTP_INSECURE`	SMTP skip SSL verification	optional	false
`MAILER_EMAIL_FROM`	Email notifications sender	optional	app@gemnasium.com

Upgrade Gemnasium Enterprise¶

While the data about packages, versions, etc. is automatically updated, and stored in your local database, Gemnasium Enterprise won’t upgrade itself automatically.

Using latest version¶

To upgrade Gemnasium Enterprise to a new version:

1- Pull the new image:

docker pull gemnasium/enterprise:latest

2- Stop and remove the container:

docker rm -f gemnasium

3- Run the image again (see Preparing volumes.). Gemnasium Enterprise will update your data automatically, if necessary.

docker run [...]

Using nightly version¶

Every night, a new build of Gemnasium Enterprise will be generated, as a gemnasium/enterprise:nightly image. This image is intended for debugging only, and should not be used for production.

Using a tagged version¶

The available tags are listed here: https://hub.docker.com/r/gemnasium/enterprise/tags/

It is recommended to always use the latest tag.

Troubleshooting¶

Read container logs:

docker logs -f gemnasium

Enter running container:

docker exec -it gemnasium /bin/bash

Data Backup¶

Gemnasium Enterprise will store its data in a persistent volume (cf. Volumes.).

It is YOUR responsibility to backup this volume. Gemnasium Enterprise has no capacities of backing up data.

Snapshots¶

Disk snapshots are probably the best option to backup your data. All the data stored in the persistent volume will saved at once, and can be restored at anytime.

If a restore is needed, remember to stop the container before restoring anything:

docker stop gemnasium

and remove it completely:

docker rm gemnasium

Once the data is restored, run again the image: Preparing volumes

Using docker¶

As explained in the “Manage data in containers” docker page, docker may be used to create a tarball:

docker run –rm –volumes-from gemnasium -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar cvf /backup/backup.tar /var/opt/gemnasium

It is highly recommanded to stop the container before doing this operation.

Restoring data with docker¶

With your backup in the local directly (pwd), untar your archive to restore the data in the gemnasium-data volume:

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/backup -v gemnasium-data:/var/opt/gemnasium/ gemnasium/enterprise bash -c "cd /var/opt/gemnasium && tar xvf /backup/backup.tar --strip 1"

Once the data is restored, run again the image: Preparing volumes

Proxy configuration¶

Gemnasium Enterprise is designed to run behind your firewalls, inside your network. If your network is using a proxy to access http or https resources, you may need to adapt GEE configuration.

By default, docker will use a default network bridge <https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/>, so the network stack is shared with the host where docker is running.

The proxy configuration for Docker is beyond the scope of this documentation, please refer to Docker and your operating system documentation if needed.

Gemnasium Enterprise is using the posix environment vars http_proxy (/HTTP_PROXY) and no_proxy (/NO_PROXY) directly. Set these variables according to your network configuration. All the services inside the container will be aware of these two variables.

NO_PROXY configuration¶

As Gemnasium Enterprise is composed of several services running inside the container, the communication between the services might be affected by a proxy configuration on your network.

Theses hosts must be added to your current no_proxy var inside the container:

Your Gemnasium Enterprise full URL
api
gemnasium-api
gemnasium-auth
gemnasium-badges
gemnasium-billing
gemnasium-notifier
gemnasium-repo-syncer
nsqlookupd
nsqd
postgresql

Theses hostnames are added to /etc/hosts when the container is starting, so it’s important that a curl gemnasium-api:8081 is working inside the container.

root@60bdf6bb1ab5:/# curl gemnasium-api:8081
<a href="http://docs.gemnasium.apiary.io">Moved Permanently</a>.

Remember that you can also pass an environment file to your docker container with --env-file=[file name], so this file should contain a complete no_proxy definition.

Self-Signed Certificates¶

Gemnasium Enterprise doesn’t require a certificate signed by a (well-)known authority. As with any other service running on your network, it’s not recommanded to use such certificate, unless a CA certificate is being used to sign it.

Gemnaasium Enterprise will fail to contact your local servers if they are using such certificate, unless the right CA is available in the container.

Note

Only valid (ie: signed by a known authority) certificates will work with Gemnasium Enterprise.

Installing a CA CERT¶

Gemnasium Enterprise is using a Debian Stable as the operating system. To make sure all services inside the container are using the right certificates, they must be installed into /etc/ssl/certs/. Do not mount a folder on this path directly, as you may hide the current certificates already present (Debian default ones). Each certificate can actually be mounted:

docker run [...] -v [ca-cert file path]:/etc/ssl/certs/[ca-cert file path]:ro gemnasium/enterprise

Note

If you have more than one CA certificate, replicate this parameter for each.

Getting a valid certificate¶

If you don’t have a valid authority to sign your certificates, you may want to use Let’s Encrypt. They are delivering free certificates.

GitHub¶

GitHub.com¶

Before being able to add projects from github.com, Gemnasium Enterprise needs to be configured to be able to access it.

There’re parts to it. First, creating an OAuth application on GitHub and then configuring Gemnasium Enterprise to use that application.

Adding OAuth applications on GitHub¶

The first step we need to do create two new OAuth applications. You read that right; Gemnasium Enterprise needs two different OAuth applications. One to enable “Login with GitHub” and one to synchronize projects.

To do that:

go on https://github.com/settings/developers (or alternatively, add the application to an organization: https://github.com/organizations/[your_org]/settings/applications)
click on the “Register a new application”
Set the name to “Gemnasium Enterprise Login”, Homepage URL to your Gemnasium Enterprise base URL (example: “https://gemnasium.example.com/”) and finally the callback URL to be {homepage URL}/auth/auth/github.com/login/callback where you replace the home with your Gemnasium Enterprise host (example: https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/github.com/login/callback)
Click on the “Register application” button.

You will need some the “Client ID” and “Client Secret” you see on the confirmation page for the next section. You can keep that tab open and open a new tab to https://github.com/settings/developers to create the second application.

To create the second application required:

go on https://github.com/settings/developers
click on the “Register a new application”
Set the name to “Gemnasium Enterprise Sync”, Homepage URL to your Gemnasium Enterprise base URL (example: “https://gemnasium.example.com/”) and finally the callback URL to be {homepage URL}/auth/auth/github.com/sync/callback where you replace the home with your Gemnasium Enterprise host (example: https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/github.com/sync/callback)
Click on the “Register application” button.

Configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use GitHub¶

A convenient script is provided to configure your instance:

docker exec -it gemnasium configure

Your Gemnasium Enterprise users are now able to login using their GitHub account. A new source named “GitHub” is also available on the “Add Project” screen.

GitHub Enterprise¶

GitHub Enterprise is no different than GitHub, the steps are the same as above, just replace github.com with your GitHub Enterprise instance URL.

When using the configuration script, make sure to select “GitHub Enterprise” instead of “GitHub.com”. The script will ask for your instance URL, and to name it.

Several GitHub Enterprise instances can be configured, just name them accordingly.

Requirements¶

Gemnasium Enterprise has been tested against GitHub Enterprise >=2.7.X. If your version is older than 2.7 series, please contact our support.

GitLab¶

GitLab.com¶

Before being able to add projects from your GitLab Enterprise (GHE) instance, Gemnasium Enterprise needs to be configured to be able to access it.

There’re two parts to it. First, creating an OAuth application on GitLab Enterprise and then configuring Gemnasium Enterprise to use that application.

Adding an OAuth application on GitLab Enterprise¶

The first step we need to do create a new OAuth application.

To do that:

go on https://ghe.example.com/settings/developers where ghe.example.com is the hostname of your GHE instance
click on the “Register a new application”
Set the name to “Gemnasium Enterprise Login”, Homepage URL to your Gemnasium Enterprise base URL (example: “https://gemnasium.example.com/”) and finally the callback URL to be {homepage URL}/auth/auth/{GitLab Enterprise host}/login/callback where you replace the home and the GHE host (example: https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/gitlab-enterprise.example.com/login/callback)
Click on the “Register application” button.

You will need some the client ID & secret you see on the confirmation page for the next section. You can keep that tab open and open a new tab to https://gitlab.com/settings/developers to create the second application.

To create the second application required:

go on https://ghe.example.com/settings/developers where ghe.example.com is the hostname of your GHE instance
click on the “Register a new application”
Set the name to “Gemnasium Enterprise Sync”, Homepage URL to your Gemnasium Enterprise base URL (example: “https://gemnasium.example.com/”) and finally the callback URL to be {homepage URL}/auth/auth/{GitLab Enterprise host}/sync/callback where you replace the home and the GHE host (example: https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/gitlab-enterprise.example.com/sync/callback)
Click on the “Register application” button.

Configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use GitLab Enterprise¶

A convenient script is provided to add everything at once:

docker exec -it gemnasium configure

Select “GitLab Enterprise”, and then fill the corresponding fields with the values from the apps created above.

Your Gemnasium Enterprise users are now able to login using their GitLab Enterprise account. A new source with the name entered in the configure script is also available on the “Add Project” screen.

GitLab CE/EE¶

GitLab.com is actually running the same code base as GitLab CE/EE, so the steps are the same as above. Just replace GitLab.com with your private GitLab instance URL.

When using the configuration script, make sure to select “GitLab CE/EE” instead of “GitLab.com”. The script will ask for your instance URL, and to name it.

Several GitLab instances can be configured, just name them accordingly.

Requirements¶

Gemnasium Enteprise is compatible with GitLab >= 8.14. There is a bug in nginx affecting lower versions of GitLab.

Bitbucket Cloud¶

Before being able to add projects from bitbucket.org (A.K.A. Bitbucket Cloud), Gemnasium Enterprise needs to be configured to be able to access it.

First add an OAuth consumer on bitbucket.org, then configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use that OAuth consumer.

Adding OAuth consumers on Bitbucket.org¶

The first step is to go to open the “Add OAuth consumer” form:

Go to the Bitbucket Settings page.
If needed, use the dropdown list and select the Bitbucket account of your company.
Click on the “OAuth” item in the sidebar.
Click on the “Add consumer” button.

Or simply visit: https://bitbucket.org/account/user/[your_account]/oauth-consumers/new

Then fill the form:

Set the name to “Gemnasium Enterprise”.
Set the callback URL to be {homepage URL}/auth/auth/bitbucket.org where you replace the home with your Gemnasium Enterprise host (example: https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/bitbucket.org)
Set the URL to your Gemnasium Enterprise base URL (example: “https://gemnasium.example.com/”).
Grant permissions to: read account, read repositories, read and write webhooks.
Save the new OAuth consumer.

You’ll then be redirected to the OAuth Consumers page and the consumer named “Gemnasium Enterprise” will be visible in the list. Click on its name to expand the item and retrieve the credentials: the consumer key and its secret.

Configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use Bitbucket.org¶

A convenient script is provided to configure your instance:

docker exec -it gemnasium configure

Your Gemnasium Enterprise users are now able to login using their Bitbucket.org account. A new source named “Bitbucket.org” is also available on the “Add Project” screen.

Advanced configuration¶

The default configuration described above enables both Bitbucket.org Sign In and project synchronization with Bitbucket.org. The advanced configuration makes it possible to restrict the integration to one of these two features.

To enable Bitbucket.org Sign Up, add an OAuth consumer with the permissions “account” and “email”, then run these commands to configure Gemnasium Enterprise accordingly:

docker exec -it gemnasium auth provider create bitbucket.org bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/authorize https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/access_token
docker exec -it gemnasium auth clients create bitbucket.org login OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET account,email

To enable Bitbucket.org Synchronization, add an OAuth consumer with the permissions “repository” and “webhook”, then run these commands to configure Gemnasium Enterprise accordingly:

docker exec -it gemnasium auth provider create bitbucket.org bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/authorize https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/access_token
docker exec -it gemnasium auth clients create bitbucket.org sync OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET repository,webhook
docker exec -it gemnasium repo-syncer sources create bitbucket.org "Bitbucket Cloud" bitbucket https://api.bitbucket.org

OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY and OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET must replaced with the key and the secret of the OAuth consumer created on Bitbucket.org. See Adding OAuth consumers on Bitbucket.org above.

Bitbucket Server¶

Before being able to add projects from Bitbucket Server (formerly know as Atlassian Stash), Gemnasium Enterprise needs to be configured to be able to access it.

Bitbucket Server is different from the other integrations since OAuth 1.0 is being used, instead of OAuth 2.0.

First add an OAuth consumer on Bitbucket Server, then configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use that OAuth consumer.

Adding OAuth consumers on Bitbucket Server¶

Before configuring Bitbucket Server, make sure you have the public key of the certificate Gemnasium Enterprise uses to sign off all the requests it sends to OAuth 1.0 providers like Bitbucket Server. This public key is displayed when running the Gemnasium Enterprise configure script (see Configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use Bitbucket Server below).

On Bitbucket Server, OAuth consumers are registered as a special kind of “Application Links” with an “Incoming Authentication” configuration.

To access the “Application Links” settings:

Log in Bitbucket Server as an admin,
Go to the settings page, or click on the gear icon that’s in the upper-right corner of the page:

Click on the “Application Links” item that’s under the “SETTINGS” section of the sidebar:

Or simply visit https://[bitbucket_server]/plugins/servlet/applinks/listApplicationLinks where bitbucket_server is the hostname of your Bitbucket Server instance.

Then create a new Application Link for Gemnasium Enterprise:

Enter the URL of your Gemnasium Enterprise instance,

(https://gemnasium.localhost is an example, use your instance URL here)

Click on “Create new link”.

Bitbucket Server then shows a warning because it’s not able to probe the URL in order to configure the Application Link automatically. You can safely ignore this warning and proceed by clicking on “Continue”.

Then, fill in the mandatory fields of the “Link application” form:

Set the Application Name to “Gemnasium Enterprise”,
Set the Application Type to “Generic Application”,
Let the other fields empty and click on “Continue”.

A new Application Link shows up in the list. Click on pen icon in order to edit its properties.

Then click on “Incoming Authentication” and fill in the form:

Set the Consumer Key to “gemnasium_enterprise”,
Set the Consumer Name to “Gemnasium Enterprise”,
Paste the Public Key that was given when configuring Gemnasium Enterprise (see Configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use Bitbucket Server below),
Set the Consumer Callback URL to {gemnasium_enterprise_url}/auth/auth/{bitbucket_hostname} where you replace gemnasium_enterprise_url with the base URL of your Gemnasium Enterprise and bitbucket_hostname with the hostname of your Bitbucket Server instance (example: https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/bitbucket.example.org)
Click on “Save”.

Important

Make sure to use “gemnasium_enterprise” as the Consumer Key

Gemnasium Enterprise can now connect to Bitbucket Server using the OAuth 1.0 protocol.

Configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use Bitbucket Server¶

A convenient script is provided to configure your instance:

docker exec -it gemnasium configure

When prompted, give the hostname of your Bitbucket Server instance and the OAuth Consumer Key you have registered Gemnasium Enterprise with (example: gemnasium_enterprise).

Your Gemnasium Enterprise users are now able to login using their Bitbucket Server account. Also, a new repository source named “Bitbucket Server” is available on the “Add Project” screen.

Adding project webhooks¶

Danger

Bitbucket Server API does not provide any way to create webhooks in projects like GitHub or Gitlab (or even bitbucket.org). This operation is therefore manual, and must be executed for each project added to Gemnasium Enterprise.

Go to your Bitbucket Server project setting page, and click on the “Hooks” link.

A webhook plugin must be installed (once) to be able to notify URLs.

Click on the “Add Hook” button, then “Search”

A new tab will open with the Atlassian plugins marketplace
Search for “Web Post Hooks”, and select the “Bitbucket Server Web Post Hooks Plugin” plugin

Make sure you have the required permission level to install this plugin, or request the installation to an admin of your Bitbucket Server.

Once installed, enable the plugin in the project settings:

Click on “Post-Receive WebHooks” (or the pen next to the name) to configure the plugin

Enter the following URL:

{gemnasium_enterprise_url}/repo-syncer/repos/{project_slug}/events

where:

gemnasium_enterprise_url is the URL of your Gemnasium Enteprise instance, starting with https://
project_slug is composed of {bitbucket_hostname}/{project}/{repo}

In our example, the hook URL is https://gemnasium.localhost/repo-syncer/repos/bitbucket.priv.tech-angels.net/GEM/rails-app/events and the repo URL is https://bitbucket.priv.tech-angels.net/projects/GEM/repos/rails-app/browse

Slack¶

Because it’s an enterprise version installed on your server, you need to do a few things in order to add Slack support.

The first step is to create a new Slack application, on Slack itself. Here are the steps:

Go on https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1
Set the App Name to be “Gemnasium Enterprise”, and then click on the “Create App” button.
You will need the Client ID and Client Secret in a moment. You can keep them around or go back to see them when you need them.
(optional) By default, there is no Gemnasium icon for the messages sent on Slack. If you want it, which we suggest, you can upload it on the “Basic Information” screen of the app you just created, in the “Display Information” section. You can use this icon..
Go in the “OAuth & Permissions” section (in the left menu) and set the redirect URL to https://gemnasium.example.com/auth/auth/slack.com/webhook/callback

Now, we need to configure Gemnasium Enterprise to use it:

docker exec -it gemnasium configure

Select “Slack”, and then fill the corresponding fields with the values from the apps created above.

Now you only need to configure Slack notifications for a project in the web UI. You can do that in the “Settings” of each project.
