I actually figured out the root user already has a private_token set for
them. You can retrieve that with a single POST to the session endpoint of
the API, which accepts username and password.
I ended up retrieving it like this using puppet:
exec { 'gitlab-settings':
command => "/bin/echo export GITLAB_API_PRIVATE_TOKEN=`/bin/curl -s -X
POST -d 'password=${gitlab_api_password}&login=${gitlab_api_user}'
${gitlab_api_endpoint}/session | /bin/jq .private_token -r` > ~/.gitlab;
/bin/echo export GITLAB_API_ENDPOINT=${gitlab_api_endpoint} >> ~/.gitlab",
onlyif => ["/bin/test -f ~/.gitlab", "/bin/grep
GITLAB_API_PRIVATE_TOKEN ~/.gitlab", "/bin/grep GITLAB_API_ENDPOINT
~/.gitlab"],
require => $exec_dependencies,
}
from that moment on I have a ~/.gitlab file ready for use with the gitlab
gem (https://github.com/NARKOZ/gitlab)
