Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API, specifically supporting the Geo resource's operation to proxy Git SSH upload pack requests. It is useful for automating GitLab Geo replication or synchronization tasks by sending POST requests to the /api/v4/geo/proxy_git_ssh/upload_pack endpoint. This can be applied in scenarios where GitLab Geo nodes need to communicate or replicate Git data securely via SSH.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate GitLab Geo synchronization by sending SSH upload pack requests programmatically.
  2. Integrate GitLab Geo proxy SSH upload pack operations into CI/CD pipelines for advanced Git operations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip API authentication for the request.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use, typically a GitLab API key credential.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the request is sent, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, with POST being the relevant method for this operation.
Parameter Schema Defines the schema for the request body parameters for the postApiV4GeoProxyGitSshUploadPack operation.
Request Body Schema Schema for the request body, if applicable, for the postApiV4GeoProxyGitSshUploadPack operation.
Request Path The API endpoint path for the postApiV4GeoProxyGitSshUploadPack operation, fixed as /api/v4/geo/proxy_git_ssh/upload_pack.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API for the Geo proxy Git SSH upload pack request.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the GitLab API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the Geo proxy endpoint.
  • Verify the baseUrl is correctly set to the target GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • Check network connectivity and firewall settings to allow communication with the GitLab API endpoint.
  • If skipping authentication, ensure the endpoint allows unauthenticated access, otherwise requests will fail.
