feat: Self hosted GitLab instances #957

@zaz has implemented using self hosted Gitlab instances as OAuth providers and sync-backends for organice 🙏 I have made a regression test and could still login to gitlab.com and make changes to a repo. I have also tested logging in to a self hosted instance and making changes to a repo. @chasecaleb made the initial Gitlab integration. Would you like to give this PR a glance before we pull it in? @chasecaleb also made a good point back in his original PR stating that if organice were to support self hosted instances of Gitlab, it would make sense to:
Otherwise people will be required to self host organice, as well, if they want to use a self hosted Gitlab. For "regular users" of Gitlab.com, these additional fields should not show up. @zaz Would you be interested in doing that? |

It looks good to me apart from the one minor issue that I've addressed.

@zaz I see that you've refactored the extraction of the projectId
into the sync backend itself (function getProject
). Is it still possible to have a validation if no projectId
can be extracted as here? You've left a TODO here yourself^^

Sure. Do you want the alert in gitLabProjectIdFromURL
? Or would it be possible to move the alert into createGitlabOAuth
? It might be nice to remove most of the checks in gitLabProjectIdFromURL
and instead just attempt the OAuth and gracefully handle errors there, unless there would be a downside to that.

You can move it to createGitlabOAuth
, I guess. It's a Redux action and those can have side effects.

Minor issue here: yarn eslint
will complain that evt
is never used. I'm not removing it as long as the validation of the projectId
is still in question.
I probably can. I'll have to read the documentation on OAuth you emailed me because I'm still confused why you need to authenticate twice (first when you create the OAuth application and give the secret to your app, then again when you use the app for the first time). This fork definitely needs some changes and a rebase before merging. |
I'm going to be very busy for the next few weeks. I do want to read the source code and read about OAuth and alternatives when I get time. I don't like the idea of adding more clutter and complexity just to support such a specific thing. It's already odd that the options are Dropbox, Gitlab, and WebDAV: Two specific websites and one general standard. Is it possible to support a wide swathe of the systems out there? E.g. Add git support with isomorphic-git? Or any other standardized way of syncing? I will still work on this when I get chance (unless you've done it before then), but afterwards I would want to generalize it. |
Also, from what I understand, the current solution relies on environment variables, so on some static site servers it will not work, or will require manual configuration. For example, it seems that deploying to GitHub pages would not be trivial right now. In general, it just seems simpler to hard-code the authentication codes as then deploying is as simple as uploading files to a web server. Or am I missing something? |
I have added an ADR on how to work with different synchronization back-ends: https://organice.200ok.ch/documentation.html#adr-003 |
You misunderstand how environment variables work in a Create React App application. Here are the upstream docs: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables/ To make it short: The environment variables as implemented will work well when deploying to any static site host such as GitHub pages.
Hard coding will by definition not make it simple, because you will complect code and configuration - resulting in complexity, not simplicity. |
