In this quick guide you will learn how to install the GitLive app on your self hosted GitLab instance as an administrator.

Steps for authenticating

As an administrator, you are required to install the GitLive app on the group level and grant it access to the repositories that you would like to use GitLive with. Note that your instance will need to be accessible from the internet.

Step 1

  • Install the plugin as explained in the installation section.
  • Open up a clone of the repository that you want to use GitLive with.
  • Then, you will see the following prompt in the GitLive window:

Configure Server

Step 2

After clicking on Configure new GitLab server, follow the setup instructions. You’ll start by adding a new OAuth application in GitLab, this will allow you to set the right scopes, and get the GitLab Application ID and Secret, which is needed for the set up.

Adding a Custom URL

If your remote URL is not accessible from the internet via HTTP or HTTPS, you can add a custom URL that is accessible from the internet. This URL will be used for communication between your GitLab instance and our servers.

To add your custom URL, follow the prompt in the footer of the GitLive pane in your IDE which says “Specify self-hosted GitLab instance URL”. You will then be redirected to a page where you can enter your custom URL.
