Follow the project on twitter: @gitlabcontrol For info on new releases, to suggest new features and to report bugs send an email to support.
- I’d love to get some input on my ideas on running GitLab alongside OS X Server on Yosemite. I would like to use GitLab together with Xcode server, and I am pretty sure that there are a lot of other iOS or Mac developers out there who would love to do this in a clean way. I researched quite a bit, but I think I need the help of people who understand the system a lot better. I know there is an.
You can login any of your favorite GitLab servers and start your great job!

May 15, 2017-Learn how to use GitLab CI on MacStadium's mini servers to build your macOS or iOS projects.
In this article, we will see how to get started withMacStadium,a provider that offers dedicated Mac hardware which you can use withGitLab CIand build your macOS or iOS application.
Continuous Integration and Delivery with GitLabis easier if you are developing your application on Linux. All you need to do isfind a provider, spin up a VM, install GitLab Runneron it and configure your project's
.gitlab-ci.yml
file.On macOS on the other hand, things may not be that easy. Finding a provider thatoffers a Mac machine that will be online 24/7 can be hard. MacStadium is here tohelp achieve that goal and offers a discount to all GitLab users. Let's see howto make this happen.On this page
- Connecting to the Mac mini
- Setting up the development environment
Choosing a Mac mini plan
The first step is to choose a plan. MacStadium offers many options, so you canpick whatever fits your needs. A Mac miniis perfect to test things out and is a good first choice. It should be enoughto get you started, but depending on your needs you may have to upgrade to amore beefy machine.
Depending on your location and project needs, you have to:
- Choose the datacenter
- Choose the Mac mini
- Choose the macOS version
- Click Start Trial (24 hours) on the Mac mini of your choice to get goingin a few steps
At first you'll be asked to create a MacStadium accountFill in your information and when in the Secure Checkout page, be sure tocheck the I want to use a coupon code option and use
GITLAB10
for 10% off.At the time of this writing, the staged machines come with macOS 10.12.2. Asnew releases com from Apple, MacStadium tests them thoroughly and then updatetheir staged machines. Of course, as a customer you can run the OS update onyour own machine anytime.
Connecting to the Mac mini
When you sign up, you'll receive an email with two important pieces ofinformation:
- The static IP address of your Mac.This will allow you to find your Mac mini from anywhere in the world, andyou can also point domain names to this IP address so it's easier to remember.
- The username and password to access the machine.The user is standard for all installs, but the password is randomlygenerated. Upon the first login, you can and are encouraged to change it.
After you have this information, there are two ways of connecting to your Mac mini:VNCand SSH.
Connecting with VNC
If connecting from a Mac, Apple's Screen Sharingis ideal. It's installed on every Mac and can you can connect on your MacStadiumMac mini easily with the username and password that was sent to you via email.
If you don't have a favorite VNC client already, there are a number of optionsto choose from:
- TigerVNC (Multi-platform)
- Vinagre (GNU/Linux)
- Remmina (GNU/Linux)
- RealVNC (Multi-platform)
When you connect with VNC, you can use the same password that is set up for theuser on the Mac mini.
macOS has that as a separate setting, but MacStadium's provision scriptsenable VNC connections by default.
Connecting with SSH
You can SSH into your machine using the username and password. For example, ifthe username is
administrator
and the IP address of your machine 1.2.3.4
:Enter the password when asked (you won't be able to see it), hit Enter andyou're in!
Setting up the development environment
The following steps are to be performed to the remote Mac machine. We need toinstall Xcodeand the command line tools that contain the SDKs and UNIX development applicationslike the LLVM compiler, etc.
Apart from the needed toolset, the screensaver needs to be disabled otherwisethe machine will be put to sleep, thus disrupting the workflow of CI.Thankfully, all the machines hosted on MacStadium are set to never sleep bydefault. It's just done in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
Installing Xcode
There are two ways to install Xcode. You can either download it from Apple'sdeveloper portal or use the App Store where you might be asked to fill in yourcredit card information. To avoid that, manually download Xcode:
- Connect via VNC to the remote Mac machine
- Open a browser and go to https://developer.apple.com/download/more
- Login with your existing AppleID or create one
- Select the Xcode version you wish to installThis should download the Xcode package in your Downloads folder anddecompress it automatically. After a couple of minutes it should finish.
- Open a terminal and move
Xcode.app
to/Applications
so that it can befound by Launchpad: - Go to your Applications, and double click on Xcode in order to install it.The verification will begin, that should take a minute.
- Answer 'Open' when you are asked if you are sure you want to open it.
- Select 'Agree' in the License Agreement and provide your administratorpassword.
- The installation process should begin and after a while you will have Xcodeinstalled and ready to be used.
In the next step we will install the command line developer tools.
Installing the command line tools
The command line tools are a subsection of Xcode, so if you installed Xcode,you may skip this part.
- Open the Terminal app or run this command via SSH:
- Accept the License Agreement and the installation will begin
Now that all development tools are installed, it's time to install GitLabRunner.
Installing and configuring the GitLab Runner
GitLab Runner is responsible for running your jobs in macOS and then itreports the results back to GitLab.
To install it, follow the instructions in the Runner's documentation.Make sure to also carefully read the current limitations.
Download Gitlab Client For Mac
Testing a project with CI
The final piece of this puzzle is to set up a project in GitLab (your ownCE/EE instance or even GitLab.com) and hook it upwith Mac mini. We will not expand on that, but you can follow this nice blog postby Angelo Stavrow on Setting up GitLab CI for iOS projects.It includes comprehensive steps to get you started.
Conclusion
Having a dedicated Mac machine for your development can save you precious timewhen you follow the Continuous Integration workflow with your team. In thistutorial, you've seen how to quickly get a remote Mac mini up and runningfor your needs. Be sure to add the promo code
