integration of the GitLab community version with the Jenkins

Question

I have a GitLab and Jenkins running on the same local machine .I am using community version of the GitLab. I have configured necessary GitLab plugins on the Jenkins and added GitLab API token as well but still I am getting authorization problem while accessing GitLab from Jenkins.

While searching for solution I read that only GitLab Enterprise version integration is possible with the Jenkins? Is it true?

I tried integration of Jenkins with the repository created on https://gitlab.com and it's working properly.

Can any one help me understand what causing the above mentioned problem?

Answer 1

Yes, you can integrate GitLab CE (community Edition) and Jenkins.
I am using the GitLab Hook Plugin

You must have a jenkins deploy key that is activated on the GitLab projects that Jenkins has to access.
Check if you have the same at https://yourgitlab/admin/deploy_keys .
