One time Mantis source integration setup

• Copy the source integration plugins into mantis "plugins/" subdirectory
• Install required plugins with Mantis plugin admin page
• Get the "API Key" (like 'abcdeb8129a4451a35f47881') from the Source Integration plugin "manage_config_page" http://mantis.server.intra/plugin.php?page=Source/manage_config_page

Gitlab setup

• Login with an Owner (or Adminstrator) of a Project, go to "Projet settings", "Web hooks", add a Push hook with Mantis url and Mantis Source Integration plugin "API Key": http://mantis.server.intra/plugin.php?page=Source/checkin&api_key=abcdeb8129a4451a35f47881
• Create a user with (at least) read access to the repository. For a public repository, any user would work. Login with this user, go to "Profile settings", "Account", and copy the "Private token".

Mantis repository setup

• In Mantis administration, create a repository with a unique name and of type "Gitlab".
• URL field is not used by the plugin.
• Gitlab config fields are:
  • hub_root: root url of the Gitlab webserver, required to access Web API
  • hub_repoid: id of the Gitlab projet, starting from 1 for the first created project (auto-filed if reponame is valid and readable for the user)
  • hub_reponame: full name of the project in the form "group-namespace/project-name"
  • hub_app_secret: the "Private token" of a user with at least a read access to the project.
  • master_branch: use '*' or a list of branches to track
