This project packs a GitLabCI compatible image to trigger updates in any public Watchtower instance running in HTTP API mode.
In your .gitlab-ci.yml, create a job in which the update action will occur and set victorcmoura/watchtower-gitlab-deploy as its base image:
trigger_watchtower_update:
stage: deploy
image: victorcmoura/watchtower-gitlab-deploy
script:
- update
only:
- masterTo work properly, the following environment variables have to be set in GitLabCI's configs:
| Varible | Description | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| WATCHTOWER_API_TOKEN | Watchtower HTTP API authorization token. | string | mytoken123 |
| WATCHTOWER_API_HOSTNAME | Watchtower HTTP API host address. | string | http://example.com |
Before running in GitLabCI, you might want to test your instance's public connectivity by running:
docker run -e WATCHTOWER_API_TOKEN=<your token> -e WATCHTOWER_API_HOSTNAME=<your hostname> victorcmoura/watchtower-gitlab-deploy update
