Configure SCM Providers / Git Providers
Jenkins X supports several different Git providers via webhooks (user-defined HTTP callbacks). These webhooks trigger the Jenkins X Pipeline execution, based on repository events such as a push to the master branch or the creation of a pull request.
The default webhook handler for Jenkins X is Lighthouse, which manages webhooks similarly to Prow. However, contrary to Prow, which only supports GitHub, Lighthouse supports a variety of Git providers.
The following sections describe how you change the Boot configuration to use the various supported Git providers.
The configuration occurs in all cases via jx-requirements.yml.
jx boot locally or by creating a pull request against the development repository.
Refer to changing your installation for more information.
GitHub
This is the default Git provider if you don’t specify one. Explicitly it is configured by gitKind: github such as the following example:
cluster:
environmentGitOwner: myorg
gitKind: github
GitHub Enterprise
GitHub Enterprise supports the same features as the github.com service but scaled for on-premises deployment on local networks.
The configuration is similar to the above but you need to specify the URL of the gitServer and gitKind: github.
For example:
cluster:
environmentGitOwner: myorg
gitKind: github
gitServer: https://github.myserver.com
webhook: lighthouse
Ensure you specify Lighthouse webhook handler by setting webhook: lighthouse.
Bitbucket Server
For Bitbucket Server specify the URL of the gitServer and gitKind: bitbucketserver.
cluster:
environmentGitOwner: myorg
gitKind: bitbucketserver
gitServer: https://bitbucket.myserver.com
webhook: lighthouse
Ensure you specify Lighthouse webhook handler by setting webhook: lighthouse.
Bitbucket Cloud
For Bitbucket Cloud specifygitKind: bitbucketcloud.
cluster:
environmentGitOwner: myorg
gitKind: bitbucketcloud
webhook: lighthouse
Ensure you specify Lighthouse webhook handler by setting webhook: lighthouse.
GitLab
For GitLab specify the URL of the gitServer and gitKind: gitlab.
cluster:
environmentGitOwner: myorg
gitKind: gitlab
gitServer: https://gitlab.com
webhook: lighthouse
