Liquibase Enterprise can be integrated with GitLab CI/CD to deploy your database code. Visit the GitLab website to learn more about https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ .

These instructions explain how to setup a GitLab CI/CD pipeline with a dedicated runner to execute Liquibase Enterprise operations. A GitLab runner can be shared among multiple projects, so one runner can serve several teams. This example uses a Linux server for the runner. You can learn more about GitLab runners here: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/ .

A Liquibase Enterprise project requires two repositories in GitLab.

  • The Liquibase Project repository.

  • The SQL code repository.

Before following these steps setup your databases and create the Liquibase project. Push the Liquibase project configuration files to the project repository in GitLab.

Step 1: Install Liquibase Enterprise on a Linux Server

Follow these instructions to install Liquibase Enterprise: Theme: Using the CLI and the Composite Repository to Install Datical DB on Linux Systems

Make sure that git is installed on the Linux server as it will be needed by the Liquibase Enterprise Deploy Packager.

Step 2: Install GitLab Runner on the Linux Server

https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-repository.html

Login to the Linux VM and run the following commands.

curl -L "https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/runner/gitlab-runner/script.rpm.sh" | sudo bash

sudo yum install gitlab-runner

This example uses SSH keys for git authentication. You can find information on using SSH keys with GitLab here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/ssh.html . Copy the SSH private key to /home/gitlab-runner/.ssh.

Step 3: Register the Runner

https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/index.html

  1. Login to GitLab.

  2. Navigate to the SQL repo for the project.

  3. Go to Settings > CI/CD

  4. Expand the Runners section.
    Copy the registration token.

  5. Start a terminal session on the GitLab runner. Run the “gitlab-runner register” command.
    You will be prompted for the required information. We recommend creating a tag for the runner so that GitLab CI/CD jobs for Liquibase can be associated with this runner. The executor for the runner should be “shell”.

    sudo gitlab-runner register
    
    Runtime platform     arch=amd64 os=linux pid=11051 revision=5316d4ac version=14.6.0
    Running in system-mode.
    
    Enter the GitLab instance URL (for example, https://gitlab.com/):
    https://gitlab.com
    
    Enter the registration token:
    <the token that was copied above>
    
    Enter a description for the runner:
    [ip-172-30-3-12.ec2.internal]: myrunner.mydomain.com
    
    Enter tags for the runner (comma-separated):
    liquibase
    
    Registering runner... succeeded                     runner=q8McuSyX
    
    Enter an executor: docker, parallels, virtualbox, docker+machine, kubernetes, custom, shell, ssh, docker-ssh+machine, docker-ssh:
    shell
    
    Runner registered successfully. Feel free to start it, but if it's running already the config should be automatically reloaded!

Step 4: Create an Access Token

  • The PAT is needed to download artifacts.

  • To create a personal access token:

    • On the top-right corner, select your avatar.

    • Select Edit Profile

    • On the left sidebar, select Access Tokens.

    • Enter a name.

    • Leave expiry date blank (never expires).

    • Select access token scope: api

    • Select create personal access token.

    • Save token. It cannot be retrieved later.

  • If you would prefer to use a Project Access Token, the instructions are here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.html .

Create the Pipeline

  • Configure variables for the pipeline.

    • Settings >> CI/CD

  • .gitlab-ci.yml file is located at the top level of the SQL Repo on the main branch.

  • The runner has the “heb” tag, so the jobs in the script must have the “heb” tag. This tells GitLab that the jobs can only run on the Runner heb.datical.net.

  • Manually initialize the git SSH key for both of the Repos. Otherwise, the Prep Job fails.

    git config --global user.name "Martha Bohls"
    git config --global user.email "mbohls@liquibase.com"
    git config --global init.defaultBranch main
    git init
    git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:mbohls/$ddb_repo.git
