GitLab Build Monitor View

This app is a simple web application that connects to a GitLab instance and displays the status of pipelines.

Technologies Used

• Kotlin
• Spring Boot
• Kotlin Gradle
• Thymeleaf
• Bootstrap
• gitlab4j

Features

Displays the status of pipelines in a responsive grid of rectangles with round edges. Each rectangle represents a pipeline, and its background color indicates whether the pipeline was successful or not. You can click on the pipeline name to navigate to the pipeline's page in GitLab.

Usage

• Clone the repository and run the spring boot application.
• Set the gitlabbuildmonitorview.personal-access-token in application.properties to your GitLab personal access token.
  • Personal access token can be found in the GitLab profile settings => Access Tokens.
  • The token must have the api scope or read_api scope.
• Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8101

Build a Docker image

Run ./gradlew bootBuildImage in the root directory.

Environment variables:

GITLABBUILDMONITORVIEW_HOST=https://gitlab.com
GITLABBUILDMONITORVIEW_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=
GITLABBUILDMONITORVIEW_PROJECTS=group/subgroup/project1,group/subgroup/project2

Limitations

Current limitation is that the app may have slow response time when connecting to GitLab due to network latency or high traffic on the GitLab instance.
