I guess you are looking for this - Create Variables Gitlab .You can create your environment variables in the ui and then change your gitlab-ci.yml like below

stages:
     - deploy
cache:
  paths:
    - node_modules/
deploy:
    stage: deploy
    script:
      - echo "NGINX_REPO_KEY"=$NGINX_REPO_KEY >> ".env"
      - npm install
      - sudo pm2 delete lknodeapi || true
      - sudo pm2 start server.js --name lknodeapi

This will create a.env file in root folder and put your variables in it.
