Using Rovo with Gitlab self hosted

[Mike Craig]

Looking for examples or documentation on how to connect Rovo to Gitlab self hosted.

We use Gitlab Ultimate, hosted in our 2 datacenters. We do have an external VIP, which we can update to allow IP ranges from Atlassian if needed.

Thank you

@Mike Craig welcome to the community. There’s currently no out-of-the-box connector for GitLab self-hosted in Rovo. If you want to integrate it, your main option today is to build a custom solution using Forge with Rovo actions, which allows you to call GitLab APIs directly. This requires that your GitLab instance be accessible from Atlassian, typically through IP allowlisting and proper authentication. Without this approach, Rovo does not natively index or connect to self-hosted GitLab, so integration is possible, but only through a custom setup rather than a built-in feature.

Hey there,

I have no documentation or examples (though they might well exist and i just dont know them), but i have deployed a rovo agent via forge. By doing this, you can communicate with whatever you want as long as it has an API and a network route to it, because you write your "actions" yourself. 

See this documentation on how to do that.

Not sure if thats helpful, but I guess an answer is better than no answer, haha. 

Have a great day
