Configure-module Actions

Development
1

Hello everybody,
I’m trying myself in making a Nethserver 8 App. I decided to test it with Gitlab CE.

Currently I’m able to install the app and configure the normal host URL so I can access the webinterface.

Next I wanted to generate a config file for e.g. LDAP. I wrote some code for this in a separat action step file in my configure-module folder. But I think it’s not executed, because there is no file and for testing purpose I set some env-variables that are also not set.

Can somebody please help me? Is there a special parameter that I need to set that my new step is executed? Am I doing something wrong?

My source-code is here on Github

Hi and welcom!

Please explain what you are trying to achieve (Authenticate again local LDAP account provider?)

I am not able to assist you, but I know that @stephdl may have some pointers for you.

Again, welcome!

imageroot/actions/configure-module/30ldap isn’t executable.

Just add the right permission:

chmod +x imageroot/actions/configure-module/30ldap

Just curious, how can one tell from looking at the Github code pls?

hehehe, you can. IF you clone it to your Software dev tool, you could, as well as when running the app in NS8.

I faced alot o those issues when i was first starting to build Modules.
An easy solution i found, Instead of Creating new files and Folders, I just copy existing ones, and rename files and content. it will carry over all the permissions necessary.

I have since moved to developing NS8 Apps on LInux, though, USed to be on Windows… what a Pain

Thank you! That was the solution

On macOS I needed to execute git update-index --chmod=+x imageroot/actions/configure-module/30ldap that git recognized the change

Hello @phillopp just tested your App. with the release Alpha Release 0.0.30
the isntallation went well.

configuruation worked fine, with Ldap, though an error, i couldnt catch was thrown…

I was able to login with Ldap Uer, worked well.couldnt do anything else, as the user must be verified.

I think you need to also deifne Email parameters for Gitlab.

Gitlab side

        gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
        gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "${GITLAB_SMTP_ADDRESS}"
        gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 587
        gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "${GITLAB_SMTP_USER_NAME}"
        gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "${GITLAB_SMTP_PASSWORD}"
        gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "${GITLAB_SMTP_ADDRESS}"
        gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
        gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
        gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false
        gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = "${GITLAB_EMAIL_FROM}"
        gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_reply_to'] = "${GITLAB_EMAIL_REPLY_TO}"

NS8 side example>

# Configure email configurations
rdb = agent.redis_connect(use_replica=True)
smtp_settings = agent.get_smarthost_settings(rdb)

email_config  = {
