Ftp – On Git Push to one server, also pull the pushed files using ftp

ftpgitlab

Sorry if the title is confusing…
So, we have 2 servers. A Root Server for internal Stuff (GitLab, etc) and one managed server where we don't have SSH. Just Plesk and FTP.

So basically, I git push my commits to the root server running gitlab. After the push is complete I also want that the entire repo or new commits are getting pulled to the managed plesk-server.

Is this possible?
Also, one thing worth to mention is that plesk creates subfolders for every domain, so it should be possible to specific a folder.

if you are using the most recent version of gitlab with its ci-runner, you could trigger a job where you can use lftp to upload the latest working copy of the repo to your Plesk server. Avoid using plain FTP, use FTP over SSL

Here are some links for GitLab and CI-Runner

Install a GitLab CE Omnibus package

The TL;DR version of how GitLab CI works

You would hardly get away with something simpler or better documented, this doesn't require a lot of Linux background, very few command line action, mainly editing text files

Hope this helps

How to setup Gitlab with post-receive hook

gitlab already uses the post-receive hook internally. you could fiddle around with that script and call your hook as well, but from the docs it looks like the "official" way would be to use "web-hooks", i.e. let gitlab call your webserver on post-receive and your webserver then pulls the repository. I haven't tried this myself, but since no one answered so far I thought I'd point you in that direction:

to enable web-hooks go into your project's main page and select hooks from the top right, below the main menu. ( http://yourgitlab.example.net/yourproject/hooks ). there is an example&docs linked from that page ( http://yourgitlab.example.net/help/web_hooks ).

edit://

I tried it this morning. Here is a php script example. It assumes the you have already cloned the repo and the webserver has all the necessary permissions/ssh keys set up.

<?php
$mirrordir='/srv/http/gitlabhooktest/gitmirror';
$gitdir=$mirrordir."/.git";

$json= file_get_contents('php://input');
#error_log($json);
$jsarr=json_decode($json,true);
#error_log(print_r($jsarr,true));
$branch=$jsarr["ref"];
if($branch=='refs/heads/master'){
 $cmd="git --work-tree=$mirrordir --git-dir=$gitdir pull";
 #error_log($cmd);
 exec($cmd);
}

Gitlab push to master jenkins trigger

I was approaching this wrong. I installed the gitlab jenkins plugin and entered the git URL and a Gitpoll schedule and set up a build job and it all started to work

Here's my blog on it...
